We can write the ratios 1 : 4 and 3 : 10 as fractions :

`\text{$\displaystyle(1)/(4) $}`

and

`\text{$\displaystyle(3)/(10) $}`

Put the fractions together :

`\text{$\displaystyle(1)/(4) \:and\:(3)/(10)$}`

Both fractions are in their simplest form ; the numerator and denominator do not have any common factors , except 1 , and there's no point in dividing by 1.
