Answer:

4/9

Explanation:

To simplify this fraction, we can find the factors for each number and then take an equal amount out (divide).

Two factors that make up 36 are 4 and 9. Two factors that make up 81 are 9 and 9. Therefore, because 9 is a common factor between the two, we can divide both terms by 9 and simplify the fraction.

36/9 = 4

81/9 = 9

The new fraction is 4/9.
