7:6.30
Explanation
The task is to reduce the given ratio to its smallest terms. The original ratio provided is 14:12.60:0. This ratio appears to be incorrectly formatted or may contain a typographical error, as ratios are typically expressed in the form A:B, where A and B are numbers. The presence of an additional number (12.60) and a zero following a colon suggests an error in the ratio's presentation.To address this, let's consider possible interpretations:1. If the ratio is meant to be 14:12.60, we need to simplify this ratio. Ratios are simplified by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD).2. If the ratio is meant to be 14:12 and 60:0 separately, then we need to simplify each ratio individually. However, the ratio 60:0 is undefined, as division by zero is not possible in mathematics.Given these interpretations, the most logical approach is to simplify the ratio 14:12.60, assuming the other part (60:0) is an error or irrelevant to the question.
