ok but just to make sure im going to finish the test before I medal u is that ok?
and if you don't mind cana you please explain how you found your answer

lemontoki · Answer

sure.
the way i got the answer was just simplifying the ratio.. imagine it as a fraction. if you divide one side by a number, you have to do it to the other side.
30in:2ft
whats a number that can fit in 2 and fit in 30? 2 fits in both

30/2=15
2/2=1

A=15:1
