Hey there! :)

Answer:

C. 7 : 18.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to convert each of the measurements given to inches:

2 ft 4 in = 28 inches.

2 yard = 6 feet = 72 inches.

Therefore, expressing this as a ratio would give us:

28 : 72

Simplify by reducing by a factor of 4:

7 : 18. This is the ratio in simplest form.
