The correct answer is 20/36.
no
My apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
First, we need to convert feet to inches using the given conversion factor: 1 foot = 12 inches.
So, 3 feet is equal to 3 * 12 = 36 inches.
Now, we can write the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet using fractional notation:
20 inches / 36 inches.
To simplify the fraction to its lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
20/4 = 5
36/4 = 9
So, the simplified fraction is 5/9.
To write the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet using fractional notation, first convert the feet to inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can write 3 feet as 3 x 12 = 36 inches.
Therefore, the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet can be written as 20/36. Now, let's simplify this fraction to lowest terms.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Doing so, we get:
20/36 = (20 ÷ 4) / (36 ÷ 4) = 5/9
So, the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet, written in fractional notation and simplified to lowest terms, is 5/9.
To write the ratio 20 inches to 3 feet using fractional notation, we need to convert the feet to inches.
We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So to convert 3 feet to inches, we need to multiply 3 by 12, which gives us 36 inches.
Now we can write the ratio as 20 inches to 36 inches.
To simplify this fraction to its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers, 20 and 36.
The prime factors of 20 are 2 x 2 x 5, and the prime factors of 36 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
To find the GCD, we can multiply the common factors together: 2 x 2 = 4.
Now we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD, which is 4.
The simplified ratio is then 5 inches to 9 inches.
So the correct answer is: Start fraction 5 over 9 end fraction.
