Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics to compare ant two quantities they need to be in same units

So

$converting \\ \: 5minutes \: into \: seconds \\ \implies5 \times 60 = 300seconds \\ so \: ratio \: = 300 : 40 \\ \implies15 : 2$

We can do it by converting 40 seconds in minutes also but that is not convenient to do that's why we always convert larger units into smaller one
