10 seconds : 1 minute

10 seconds : 60 seconds

1 second: 6 seconds

1:6


The idea is to write "1 minute" as "60 seconds" which is done on step 2. On step 3, we divide both parts by 10 to reduce the ratio. To further reduce, we divide both parts by the units "seconds" (step 4) to get the final answer of `1:6`
