To find the ratio of the number of child tickets to the total number of tickets, you can set up the ratio using the number of child tickets and the total number of tickets sold.
Given:
- Number of child tickets = 26
- Total number of tickets = 50
The ratio of child tickets to total tickets is given by:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of child tickets}}{\text{Total number of tickets}} = \frac{26}{50} \]
To simplify the ratio, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\[ \frac{26 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \frac{13}{25} \]
Thus, the simplified ratio of the number of child tickets to the total number of tickets is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{13}{25}} \]
