Answer:


3:5

Explanation:

Rewrite this as a fraction to see easier:


(36)/(60)

You can divide both numbers by 12, the GCF:


(36)/(60)= (3)/(5)

Rewrite as a ratio:


3:5

Finito.

Make 36:60 equivalent to _:50

With the simplified version of 36:60, 3:5, Multiply both sides by ten to get 5 to 50:


3*10:5*10\\30:50

Done.
