Solution

Step-1: Find the ratio:
Since, the given quantities are in different units, first we convert meters into centimeters.
$1 m e t e r =$ $100 c e n t i m e t e r$
$= 75 c m : 100 c m + 25 c m = 75 : 125 = \frac{75}{125}$
So, the required ratio is $75 : 125$ .
Step-2: Express the ratio in the lowest form:
$\Rightarrow \frac{75}{125} = \frac{3}{5}$
Therefore, $3 : 5$ is the lowest form.
