8 : 32 ---> 1 : 4

Since this is a ratio, we can simplify it by finding the highest common factor of 8 and 32 (8) and then dividing by that. If you have 8 buckets of blue paint and 32 buckets of red paint, it is the same as saying that for every 1 bucket of blue paint you have 4 buckets of red paint (8*4 = 32).
