Hey there!


\boxed{BoxA: 18}


\boxed{BoxB:36}

You could have your
ratio to look like this:
18:36 (most likely going to be your answer if you are looking for the ratio of the number)

BUT if you're trying to solve your
ratio then....

Both terms go into
18,
9, and
2


(18)/(2)
= 9


(36)/(2) = 18


\boxed{9:18}


(18)/(9) = 2


(36)/(9) = 4


\boxed{2:4}


(18)/(18) = 1


(36)/(18) = 2


\boxed{1:2}

Answer:
\boxed{36:18} or
\boxed{18:36}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
