A bonsai tree is 18 inches wide and stands 2 feet tall. What is the ration of the width of the bonsai to its height?

Answer:
3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we start to deal with the ratio, we need all lengths in the same units.
The width is 18 inches.
The height is 2 feet.
Let's convert the height to inches. Then we will have both dimensions in the same units, inches.
2 ft * (12 in.)/ft = 24 in.
Now we have:
width = 18 in.
height = 24 in.
ratio of width to height = 18 in. to 24 in. = 18/24 = 3/4 = 3:4
