Answer:
Explanation:
You want to see two other ways to write the ratio 3:8.
Ratios
A ratio is a way of saying that some number of one thing is always associated with some (often different) number of another thing. The two things may or may not be measured with the same units, and may or may not refer to parts of the same object.
Here, we're concerned with how we write a ratio. One way is shown in the problem statement:
3 : 8 . . . . . . . . using a colon
Two other ways to write the same ratio are ...
3 to 8 . . . . . . using the word "to"
3/8 . . . . . . . . using a fraction bar

Additional comment
A ratio is in "simplest form" if the numbers involved are mutually prime (have no common factors).
Sometimes an extended ratio is useful for specifying the relationship between more than two measures, for example, 3 : 8 : 5.
