Answer: 5:8

Explanation:

to reduce 250:400, simply start with common factors. Right now, it looks like both numbers have 10 in common, so we can divide 10 from both numbers, which will result in 25:40.

We still need to simplify, and now it looks like both numbers have 5 in common, so we can divide 5 from both numbers, resulting in 5:8.


I hope this helps!
