to find the ratio, add the two numbers (which would be 36 and 56) and then divide it by the number of numbers in the problem (which would be 2) which gives you the equasion: 36 + 56 divided by 2 which = 46

The ratio of children to adults is 36:56. If reduced, the ratio would be 9:14.

36:56 = 18:28 = 9:14. 9 and 14 have no common factors, so that is the ratio.

Alright, first look for a common denominator of both numbers. Because both numbers are even, I know 2 goes into 36 and 56.
THIS REDUCES TO 18 AND 28. i CAN STILL USE 2 AS A DIVISOR...This turns into 9 and 14. I can not find anything that evenly divides into both numbers any further,therefore, I've reduced this fraction as far as it will go.
