Which ratio correctly compares 2 feet to 48 inches, when the lengths are written using the same units?

note: 12 inches = 1 foot

a. 2 : 1

b. 24 : 1

c. 1 : 24

d.1 : 2

OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

- Convert from 48 inches to foot. You know that 12 inches=1 foot. Then you have:

- Therefore, keeping on mind that 48 inches is 4 feet, and you must find the ratio that  correctly compares 2 feet to 48 inches, you can write:

- Reduce the fraction, then:

- You can rewrite it as following:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
