Write the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet using fractional notation. Simplify the fraction to lowest terms. Use 1 foot = 12 inches to first write feet as inches.

Answer 1

1 foot = 12 inches

3 feet = 3 x 12 = 36 inches

The ratio of 20 inches to 3 feet can be written as:

20 inches : 36 inches

To simplify the fraction to lowest terms, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common factor which is 4.

20 ÷ 4 = 5

36 ÷ 4 = 9

Therefore, the simplified ratio of 20 inches to 3 feet is:

5 : 9

This can also be written as the fraction:

5/9

Answer 2

Why not just do :

20 inches : 3 ft
= 20 inches : 36 inches
= 20 : 36
= 5 : 9 or 5/9
