4 ft.
2:1
1:2
6:1
1:6

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units to be the same

Since 1 ft = 12 in, 4 ft = 4×12 = 48 in.

Step2: Determine longer and shorter sides

The longer side is 48 in and the shorter side is 24 in.

Step3: Calculate the ratio

The ratio of the longer side to the shorter side is $\frac{48}{24}=2:1$.
