Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Ratio              =                  New Ratio        All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.

The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall

Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)

Call what you don't know = x

24/12 = x / 2                        Cross multiply

12 * x = 24 * 2                     Combine the right

12 * x = 48                           Divide by 12

12x/12 = 48/12

x = 4

So the new height is 4 inches.
