To convert a ratio into fraction form, you can add the two numbers in the ratio and then use each number as the numerator or denominator.
In this case, the ratio is 5:2. Adding 5 and 2 gives us 7. Therefore, the fraction form of the ratio 5:2 is 5/7.
So, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided.
To determine the ratio 5:2 in fraction form, you need to divide the first number (5) by the second number (2).
So, 5 divided by 2 is equal to 2.5.
However, to express the ratio in fraction form, you need to reduce it to the simplest form.
Since 2.5 is already in decimal form, you can convert it to a fraction by placing it over 1, and then multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to remove the decimal.
2.5/1 can be multiplied by 10/10, resulting in 25/10.
To further simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5.
Dividing 25 by 5 gives you 5, and dividing 10 by 5 gives you 2.
So the ratio 5:2 in fraction form is 5/2.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C. 5/2.
