Open in App

Solution

To convert the ratio into the simplest form first we make the units same.
We know that $1$ liter = $1000$ milliliters so $25$ liters = $25 \times 1000 = 25000$ milliliters
So $25000$ milliliters $: 560$ milliliters = $\frac{25000}{560}$ milliliters
Now we divide the fraction by their HCF.
HCF=Highest Common Factor
HCF $(25000, 560) = 40$
So $\frac{25000 \div 40}{560 \div 40} = \frac{625}{14}$
Hence the simplest form of ratio is $625 : 14$
