Question

In converting 9 inches to yards, what unit (omit the number) would you place
in the numerator of your ratio? Use the plural form in your answer. Remember
that there are 36 inches in 1 yard.

Answer 1

Answer:

9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

1 yard = 36 inches

2. In converting 9 inches to yards, what unit (omit the number) would you place  in the numerator of your ratio?

This is the ratio for calculating the answer:

36/1 = 9/x

36x = 9 *1

36x = 9

x = 9/36

x = 1/4 or 0.25 yards

9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.
