You only should express both measures in consistent units and then take the ratio
of the smaller value to the greater value (in consistent units).


Having so clear instruction from me, you, the respectful visitor, should be able
to complete this simple calc on your own.


Happy calculations (!)


1 ft = 12 inches.


It is TRUE even for the Leaning tower of Pisa in Italy,
where Galileo Galilei performed his famous experiments dropping stones from the tower.
