When the dimensions of a particular rectangle are expressed in feet, the ratio of the numerical value of the perimeter to the numerical value of the area is 3/4. What is this ratio if the dimensions are expressed in inches instead of feet? Express your answer as a common fraction.
3/4 the numerator is perimeter and is measured in feet to convert to inches , multiply by 12 3 x 12 = 36 in
the denominator is area and is expressed in feet2.... to convert to inches2 , multiply by 12 x 12 = 144 4 x144 = 576 in2
36/576 = 1/16
