Our current ratio of cars to lots is 125 : 5.
However, we are looking for lots to cars, so flip the ratio.
5 : 125 is our current ratio.
This may be our answer, but we need to simplify.
Divide both numbers by 5.
1 : 25 is your simplified ratio of lots to cars.
I hope this helps!

Now simplify

5:125
