Answer: The simplest form of the ratio would be 50:13.

If we use the values in the problem, we have a ratio of 1:0.26. The problem is that we have a decimal value and we should use whole numbers.

Start by multiplying each value by 100 to eliminate the decimal.

We have 100:26.

Now, each value contains a factor of 2. So divide by 2 and we get 50:13.
