ok im thinking its either 2/3 or 3/2 cause I already knew that 12 in. = 1 ft. and I know its 2 feet cause 12=12=24 am I right? what would the answer exactly be> 2/3 or 3/2?

6. anonymous

my bad I meant 12+12=24 sorry :(

7. AbdullahM

Correct, it is 2 feet.

8. AbdullahM

So one thing to remember in ratios is: $$\sf\Large a~ to ~b = \frac{a}{b}$$

9. anonymous

ok so am I right I was thinking the exact answer is 2/3?

10. AbdullahM

You question says: 3 feet to 24 inches We made into: 3 feet to 2 feet So what would it be?

11. AbdullahM

Also note that we have to make sure they have the same units as we can not compare apples to oranges.

12. anonymous

ok then 3/2?

13. AbdullahM

Correct
