You need to get to the same unit of measurement. Either all feet or all inches, for example. I would just convert yards into feet.
Your ratio is 1 foot to 3 feet.
Ratio = 1/3
This is in its simplest form.
You could have converted everything to inches if you wanted to (12 inches to 36 inches). The ratio would be 12/36 and when you reduce you would get 1/3.
Either method is fine.

1 foot to 1 yard is 3/1 ratio. 3 feet in a yard

1ft : 1yd = 1 : 3
or 1ft/1yd = 1/3
