Answer 1

The ration can be written as :

3 to 5

3 : 5

3 / 5

Answer 2

Answer: The required ratio in simplest form is 3:5 or 5 :3.

Explanation:

We know that the ratio of A to be is defined as A:B , which can also be written in fraction as
`(A)/(B)` .

Here , we need to find the ratio of 3 gallons to 5 tons which will be
`(3)/(5)` or 3:5.

Or in other case , the ratio of 5 tons to 3 gallons will be
`(5)/(3)` or 5:3.

Also , 3 and 5 are co-prime ( i.e. they do not have any common factor).

Thus the required ratio in simplest form is 3:5 or 5 :3.
