3- adult tickets sold simplified
25- total tickets sold simplified

Explanations:
You want to find the ratio of the numbers of adult tickets to the title number of both child and adult tickets.

First, find out the number of total tickets sold.

That would be 6+44=50.

Next, find the ratios of those numbers.

That would be 6:50.

If you need it simplified, these are the next steps you’ll need to take:

Lastly, figure out if they can both be simplified by the same numbers. 6 and 50 can both be divided by 2s.

6/2=3
50/2=25

The final answers would be 3:25. Hope that helps!!
