There are two balance beams at the gym. one is 15 feet long ,theother is 162 inches long. which beam is longer?

12 inches = 1 foot

Let x=length of 2nd balance beam in feet

by ratio and proportion

1/12 = x/162

multiply noth sides by 162 to isolate x

(1/12)(162) = (x/162)(162)

162/12 = x

13.5 = x
