A garden is 4 yards 24 inches wide and 6 yards long. Write the ratio of the width to the length as a fraction in simplest form.

we have

4 yards 24 inches wide

6 yards long

step 1

convert inches to yards

we know that

1 yard is equal to 36 inches

so

24 inches = (24/36) = 2/3 yards

so

4 yards 24 inches wide=4 + (2/3) = 14/3 yards

step 2

Find the ratio

W/L = (14/3) / (6) = 14/18=7/9

therefore

the answer is

the ratio is equal to (7/9)
