Is 12V to 5V conversion possible while maintaining ratios?


i'm not quite sure how explain i'm looking for, i'l try anyway.

the arduino (uno's) analog input can convert analog signal digital signal. however, see it's limitation it's anywhere 0-5v.

3.5v 70% of 5v, therefore digital equivalent somewhere close 716 (in range of 0 1023).
the 70% equivalent 12v 8.4v. if able map 12v 5v digital equivalent 716.

is possible or there device can convert 0-12v input 0-5v input it's usable arduino? there arduino measure varies between 0v , 12v.

i hope i've explained myself enough.
thanks in advance!

really ? why don't post code demonstrating how ?

http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/cd/cd4049ubc.pdf (output voltage level determined vcc voltage used. input can tolerate +12v input. in other words, if want convert 5v 12v, connect vcc 12v. if want convert 12v 5v, connect vcc 5v.
