Answer 1

Hello, Myllhya. Whenever using unit rate, you set up a proportion: $\frac{y(dependent)}{x(independent)}$. Imagine the line in between x and y is the word 'per'. Finding how many feet in a given number of inches is the same as saying 'how many feet per inch', so this will be written as $\frac{feet}{inches}$ because feet becomes dependent on inches. Or, vice versa, the problem asks for inches for a certain amount of feet, you apply the same concept. The number of inches depends on feet, so you proportion is $\frac{inches}{feet}$.

I hope this was helpful. : )
