Question

In converting 9 inches to yards, what unit (omit the number) would you place

Answer 1

Answer:

9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

1 yard = 36 inches

2. In converting 9 inches to yards, what unit (omit the number) would you place  in the numerator of your ratio?

This is the ratio for calculating the answer:

36/1 = 9/x

36x = 9 *1

36x = 9

x = 9/36

x = 1/4 or 0.25 yards

9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.
