The ratio can be written as #20/11#.

Explanation:

Let's first convert all of our measurements to a single unit. In this case, we'll convert to inches.

#5 * 12 = 60#

So, we're looking at a ratio of 60 inches to 33 inches.

#60/33#

We may notice that the numerator and the denominator share a common factor, so this fraction cannot be in lowest terms. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by this greatest common denominator, #color(red)3#.

#{60-:color(red)3}/{30-:color(red)3}#

= #20/11#
