One of the rules of ratios is that there should be no fractions, only whole numbers.
We have $\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5}$
One method is to change them to a common denominator.
However, let's multiply by that LCM instead, because this will allow us to cancel the denominators altogether immediat.ely
$\frac{10}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{10}{1}$
$\frac{⧸ 10^{5}}{1} \times \frac{1}{⧸ 2} : \frac{1}{⧸ 5} \times \frac{⧸ 10^{2}}{1}$
Answer: $5 : 2$
