Hi, Jordan.
Okay you need to find a common factor. For one thing, both numbers are even so you can definitely divide the top and bottom by 2. However, I notice they are both multiples of 6 so
36/54 ÷ 6/6 = 6/9 and you can still divide the top and bottom by 3:
6/9 ÷ 3/3 = 2/3
2/3 is the fraction in simplest form
