Answer:

4/15 or 4:15

Explanation:

We know a ratio is basically for everyone of this we will have a "x" number of the other for example

1:4 or 1:33

In order to solve this, all our data should be in the same unit

so in this case let's work with minutes

48min : 3hr after converting 3hr to min we get...

48min : 180min

now we can simplify this to make this visually easier im going to use a fraction format

48 24 12 4

------- ÷2 ---------- ÷2 -------- ÷3 ----- I can not simplify any further

180 90 45 15

So my answer is 4/15 or 4:15
