Question

Write the ratio of the first measurement to the second measurement. Compare in inches.

Answer 1

Answer is the ratio 9:14

Work Shown:

1 foot = 12 inches

3 feet = 36 inches, multiply both sides by 3

The "3 feet to 56 inches" is equivalent to "36 inches to 56 inches".

Then we can form the ratio 36:56. Divide both parts of that ratio by the GCF 4 and we get the reduced ratio 9:14
