To write the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet using fractional notation, first convert the feet into inches using the conversion factor 1 foot = 12 inches.
3 feet = 3 * 12 inches = 36 inches
Now we can write the ratio as:
20 inches : 36 inches
To simplify this fraction to its lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
20/4 : 36/4
5 : 9
Therefore, the simplified fraction in lowest terms is 5/9.
To write the ratio of 20 inches to 3 feet in fractional notation, we need to convert the feet to inches using the conversion factor 1 foot = 12 inches.
Given:
20 inches : 3 feet
To convert feet to inches, we multiply the given value by 12:
3 feet * 12 inches/foot = 36 inches
So, the ratio can be written as:
20 inches : 36 inches
To simplify this fraction to lowest terms, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
20/4 : 36/4
Simplifying further, we get:
5/9
Therefore, the simplified fraction is 5/9.
