A ratio is nothing more than a fraction, so 36 to 88 would be 36 / 88.
To simply, meaning reduce down to lowest terms, you need to find the largest number that can be divided into both top and bottom. 4 is the largest number that can be divided into both 36 and 88.
Dividing those numbers by 4 would give you 9 / 22.
