To write the ratio that compares 36 posts to 16 posts in fractional notation, we can express it as:
\[
\frac{36}{16}
\]
Next, we simplify this fraction to its lowest terms. We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36 and 16. The GCD of 36 and 16 is 4.
Now, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
\[
\frac{36 \div 4}{16 \div 4} = \frac{9}{4}
\]
Therefore, the simplified ratio comparing 36 posts to 16 posts is:
\[
\frac{9}{4}
\]
\[
\frac{36}{16}
\]
