$3:1$

To find ratio of the two, weshould first convert them first to same units.

One hour is $60$ minutes and as such $1/4$ hour is $1/4xx60=15$ minutes and $1 1/4$ hours is $60+15=75$ minutes.

Hence $1 1/4"hours":25"minutes"$

is $75"minutes":25"minutes"$

and as $75/25=3$ , the ratio is $3:1$

$3" ":" "1$

Before numbers can be written as a ratio they need to be in the same unit.

$1 1/4"hr ":" "25"min"" "larr$ change to minutes

$75"min ":" "25"min "larr$ drop the units

A ratio is given in the simplest form: Divide by the HCF

$75div 25 " ":" "25div25$

$" "3" ":" "1$
