To find the ratio, we need to convert both lengths to the same unit. Since the model length is in inches, let's convert the actual length of the lawn from feet to inches.
1 foot = 12 inches
So, 8 feet = 8 x 12 = 96 inches
Now, the ratio of the length of Jillian's lawn to the length of her model is:
96 inches : 10 inches
And simplified, the ratio is:
48 : 5
Therefore, the ratio of the length of Jillian's lawn to the length of her model is 48:5.
wrong
To find the ratio of the length of Jillian's lawn to the length of her model, we need to keep the units consistent.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
So, the length of Jillian's lawn in inches is:
8 feet * 12 inches/foot = 96 inches
The ratio of the length of Jillian's lawn to the length of her model is:
96 inches : 10 inches
Simplified, the ratio is:
48 : 5
Therefore, the correct ratio of the length of Jillian's lawn to the length of her model is 48:5.
