Convert to the same units, then the calculation can be done:
1 ft = 12 in
Converting to inches:
→ 5 ft = 5 × 12 in = 60 in
→ 5 ft ÷ 18 in = 60 in ÷ 18 in = 3 1/3 times
As a decimal = 3.333... times ≈ 3.33 times.
Alternatively, converting to feet:
→ 18 in = 18 ÷ 12 ft = 1½ ft
→ 5 ft ÷ 18 in = 5 ft ÷ 1½ ft = 5 ÷ 3/2 = 5 × 2/3 = 10/3 = 3 1/3 times
As a decimal = 3.333... times ≈ 3.33 times.
