Yes you can reduce a ratio. Here's an example: If you have a pole that is 14 feet tall and a man who is 6 feet tall then the ratio of the height of the man to the pole is 6:14. You can reduce 6:14 because 2 can go into both, so it is reduced to 3:7.

A ratio of 2:4 is the same as a ratio of 1:2
35 new teachers. An increase from 95 teachers to 130 teachers would reduce the ratio to 19:1.
the ratio is 3:5 what you do is make a fraction out of it (18/30) and then reduce and put a colon in it
Division is used to simplify the ratio (reduce it, put it into simplest terms). This gives you a direct (and usually small) perspective of the ratio, so can visualize it easier and understand it better.
To reduce the ratio 27 to 36, you need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two numbers, which in this case is 9. Divide both numbers by the GCF to simplify the ratio. So, 27 ÷ 9 = 3 and 36 ÷ 9 = 4. Therefore, the reduced ratio of 27 to 36 is 3:4.
