Question

1. find the ratio of the length of the longer side to the length of the shorter side. 3 ft. 18 in. 6/1 2/1 1/2 1/6

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units to be the same

Since 1 ft = 12 in, 3 ft = 3×12 = 36 in.

Step2: Find the ratio of longer - to shorter side

The longer side is 36 in and the shorter side is 18 in. The ratio is $\frac{36}{18}=2$. So the ratio of the length of the longer side to the length of the shorter side is $\frac{2}{1}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{1}$
