I will try my best to assist you with your question.


18 and 54 both can be divided by 6:


18/6 = 3


54/6 = 9


This would give you a ratio of 3:9 - the ratio can still be divided by three


3/3 = 1


9/3 = 3


The final solution would be:


1:3

Hope I helped!

Good Luck!

All you need to figure out is the common factors of the two ratios.

18 and 54 can both be divided by 6 so:

18/6 = 3

54/6 = 9

this gives you a ratio of 3:9 - the ratio can still be divided by three

3/3 = 1

9/3 = 3

The final solution would be:

1:3
