Answer:

1400000 : 600000

or

1.4m : 0.6m ( this would also be right if 2m wasnt 2,000,000 )

Explanation:

add both sides of the ratio together witch would get 10

now divide 2m by that to get 200000

now to get the ratio we get 7 : 3

then times 200000 by each side of the ratio

7 x 200000 : 3 x 200000

1400000 : 600000

Note:

if you meant 2m as 2,000,000 then this is right

Answer

1.4m:6m

Explanation:

First let's covert 2m to cm, this will make it easier to split,

2m = 200cm

Then we add the ratio,

7 + 3 = 10

Then we divide by 200cm

200 ÷ 10 = 20

Then we multiply by the ratio,

20 x 7 = 140

20 x 3 = 60

Finally we convert back to meters!

1.4m:60m

Have a great day :)
