Answer:
1:60
Step-by-step explanation:
Because no ratios have been included, I will just find the simplified version. To simplify a number you need to find the highest number that goes into both numbers. In this case it is 5.
Now, divide both sides by 5:
Or:
60 : 1
So the ratio of raisins to boxes is 60:1, or 1:60 for boxes to raisins.
