Final answer:

To compare the relative sizes of 25 inches to 8 feet, first convert 8 feet to inches (96 inches). The ratio is then 25 inches to 96 inches, which simplifies to 25:96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a ratio that compares the relative sizes of 25 inches to 8 feet, we must first ensure that the units are the same. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can convert 8 feet to inches.

8 feet × 12 inches/foot = 96 inches

Now we have both measurements in inches, so the ratio of 25 inches to 96 inches is:

25 inches : 96 inches

This can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor which is 1, so the simplified ratio remains:

25:96
