Convert to same units, then the units cancel and the numbers can (possibly) be simplified:

1 m = 100 cm

→ 7 cm : 1 m

= 7 cm : 1 x 100 cm

= 7 : 100

(cannot be simplified as no common factor other than 1)

If a scale factor of the form 1 : ... is required, then continue by dividing both sides by 7:

7 : 100

→ 1 : 14 2/7

≈ 1 : 14.29
