ok so here is the fraction you want:

65 inches
--------------
5 feet

first you wanna convert 5 feet to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot so multiply 5 times 12 and you get 60. The new fraction:

65 inches
--------------
60 inches

You notice the biggest number that goes into 65 and 60 is the number 5 so divide bother numbers by 5. You are left with:

13/12 inches

If you need to convert to a mixed number you figure out how many times 12 goes into 13 which is only 1 time. There is 1 left over so 1 becomes the numerator of your new fraction. 12 stays the denominator:

Mixed fraction form = 1 1/12 inches

You need to convert your information into the same units.

5 feet * 12 inches per foot = 60 inches.

65 inches / 60 inches = 13/12 = 1 1/12

Hope that helps.
