Answer 2

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

One yard is worth 36 inches, so the denominator of the fraction shall be 36. Then, the numerator must be 8 inches. However, since 8/36 can be simplified, we shall simplify by finding the GCF of 8 and 36.

• Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
• Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

As you can see, the GCF is 4, so we divide 8 and 36 by 4.

• $\frac{8/4}{36/4} = \frac{2}{9}$

Therefore, the fraction is 2/9.
