Answer:

9:4

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you meant:

   7 1/2 in

 -------------

    3 1/3 in

Rewriting both mixed numbers as improper fractions, we get:

 15

------

   2

==========

    10

  -------

      3

Remember:  to divide by a fraction (such as 10/3 here), invert the divisor fraction and multiply instead:

 15         3      (3)(3)

------- * ------ = --------- = 9/4 or 9:4  (this is a ratio expressed in lowest terms)

   2       10       (2)(2)
