Answer:

35:14

Explanation:

The ratio is 5:2.

The smaller number is 14, which replaces the 2. First, find the factor you used to get to 14. To do so, divide 14 by the smaller ratio number, 2:

14/2 = 7

Now, multiply 7 to the other side of the ratio:

5 x 7 = 35

If 5:2 ∴ 35:14

35:14 is your ratio.
