Question

What's the ratio of 12 ft over 3 yd?

Answer 1

The answer is `4:3`

To get to this you can either convert both values to yards or to feet:

`12` ft `= 4 xx 3` ft `= 4` yd

So in yards we have `4` yd : `3` yd `= 4:3`

`3` yd `= 3 xx 3` ft `= 9` ft

So in feet we have `12` ft : `9` ft `= 12:9 = 4:3`
