Answer:

Ratio: 1:5 salt to water

Percentage of salt: 1/6 or 16.666.....

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 25 is the initial ratio, but we can simplify this down to 1:5 by dividing both sides by 5.

As for the percentage, in the 1:5 ratio you have 6 parts, 5+1. So the fraction would be 1/6 which is equal to 16.666 repeating.

Hope that helps!
