The conversion ratio from inches to feet is:
1 foot = 12 inches
So the ratio of inches to feet is:
12 inches / 1 foot
Using the a/b form:
a = 12 inches (the number of inches)
b = 1 foot (the equivalent in feet)
Thus, the ratio is:
12/1
However, if your intention is to have a ratio that represents one inch to feet, it would be:
1 inch / 1 foot
Since there are 12 inches in a foot, this would be:
1/12
This means that for every inch, there is 1/12 of a foot.
