We can turn this into an equation.
if x stands for the number you are looking for, then
18 + 1/4 x = x
we can solve this equation
18 + 1/4 x = x
subtract 1/4x from both sides
18 = 3/4 x
divide both sides by 3/4
24 = x
Hints on solving trigonometry problems:
If no diagram is given, draw one yourself.
Mark the right angles in the diagram.
Show the sizes of the other angles and the lengths of any lines that are known
Mark the angles or sides you have to calculate.
Consider whether you need to create right triangles by drawing extra lines. For example, divide an isosceles triangle into two congruent right triangles.
Decide whether you will need Pythagorean theorem, sine, cosine or tangent.
Check that your answer is reasonable. The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
How to use the tangent ratio to find missing sides or angles?
Example:
Since ABCD is a square
BE = FD
BC = AB
Angle ABE = angle BCF
With these, triangle ABE = triangle BCF
And
angle BEA = angle CFB by CPCTC
And with this
DG = AB

Answer:
20 : 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 cm = 20 mm, so the ratio of white to colored fabric is ...
20 mm : 7 mm = 20 : 7
