30 sec : 5 mins.
Remember in one minute there are 60 secs.
So in 5 mins there are 5 x 60 = 300 secs.
Hence the ratio is
30: 300
This will reduce by '10' to
3 : 30
This will reduce by '3' to
1 : 10
So the ratio of 30 sec : 5 mins is 1:10
Mathematically/algebraically this would be written as
30 sec : 5 min :: 1 : 10
Note the use of the colon and the double colon.
