Answer 2

Answer:

The required ratio is $\frac{1}{4}$ or $1:4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

An ordered pair of numbers a and b, represented as $\frac{x}{y}$, is $x$ ratio if $y$ is not equal to $0$. A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value. A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other. The dividend or number being divided is referred to as the antecedent, and the divisor or number that is dividing is referred to as the consequent.

Given:

$6$ inches

$2$ feet

To find:

We have to find out the ratio of given numbers in simplest form.

Solution:

Firstly we have to change $2$ feet into inches.

Since there are $12$ inches in a foot,

$2$ feet $= 2 * 12$ inches

$= 24$ inches

So the required ratio is,

$=\frac{6}{24} \\=\frac{1}{4}$
