You either reduce the numbers an keep the units or, if possible, you convert the units to the same.

For example, the ratio 50 km : 30 minutes can be reduced to 5 km : 3 minutes or even 1.66... km : 1 minute.

50 km : 10 metres can be reduced to 5 km : 1 metre but, since 5 km = 5000 metres, the reduced ratio is 5000 metres : 1 metre which is 5000 : 1.
