6. 10 inches to 3 feet
: 3cross%28ft%29%2812inches%2F1cross%28ft%29%29=36inches
So, 10 inches to 3 feet -----> 10 inches to 36 inches, By RATIO:
10%2F36 ---> cross%2810%295%2Fcross%2836%296 divide both num. & den. by 2
------> 5%2F6 ANSWER
.
7. 5 feet to 5 yards
: 5cross%28yards%29%283ft%2F1cross%28yard%29%29=15%28ft%29
So, 5feet to 5 yards -----> 5 feet to 15 feet , By RATIO:
5%2F15 --> cross%285%291%2Fcross%2815%293 divide both num & den by 5 ---------> 1%2F3 ANSWER
