7 yards : 9 feet = 21 ft : 9 ft = 7:3
1 yard = 3 feet9 yard / 7 feet = 27 feet / 7 feet = 27/7 = (3 and 6/7)
144 inches = 12 feet So 12:6 = 2:1 in its lowest terms
4 yards is 12 feet and so the ratio is 1 to 3
To find the ratio of 3 feet to 5 yards, first convert yards to feet. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, 5 yards is equal to 15 feet (5 x 3 = 15). Therefore, the ratio of 3 feet to 15 feet is 3:15, which simplifies to 1:5.

36 inches = 3 feet (36/12). The ratio is therefore 4:3 (in lowest terms).
1 yard = 3 feet9 yard / 7 feet = 27 feet / 7 feet = 27/7 = (3 and 6/7)
144 inches = 12 feet So 12:6 = 2:1 in its lowest terms
24/18 = 4/3
30/60 = 3/6 = 1/2
4 yards is 12 feet and so the ratio is 1 to 3
To find the ratio of 30 feet to 11 yards, we need to convert either feet to yards or yards to feet so that the units match. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, we can convert 30 feet to 10 yards (30 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 10 yards). Therefore, the ratio of 30 feet to 11 yards is 10:11.
3 feet = 36 inches 36/48 = 3/4
To find the ratio of 3 feet to 5 yards, first convert yards to feet. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, 5 yards is equal to 15 feet (5 x 3 = 15). Therefore, the ratio of 3 feet to 15 feet is 3:15, which simplifies to 1:5.
