3/3043

just in case you still need this, its:

3/3043

To find the ratio between two numbers, you need to divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the ratio. In this case, the GCD of 72 and 36 is 36.

Dividing both numbers by 36, we get:

72 ÷ 36 = 2
36 ÷ 36 = 1

So the simplified ratio is 2:1, which means that for every 2 units of the first number, there is 1 unit of the second number.
