Answer:

3:4

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
