Answer:

4 : 1

Explanation:

1 hour : 15 minutes

However we cannot write like this since they aren't of the same unit, so you can either change the minutes to hour by dividing it with 60 or change the hours to minutes by multiplying it with 60.

1 hour = 60 minutes

60 : 15

The ratio can be simplified.

12 : 3 ( 60 and 15 are multiples of 5 )

The ratio can again be simplified further.

4 : 1 ( 12 and 3 are multiples of 2 )
