Brown bats vary in length from 3 to 6 inches and have wing spans from 8 to 16 inches.

We can make two ratios using the given information

Ratio of a bat's wing span to the bat's body length

Wing span is 8 inches  and body length is 3 inches

So ratio becomes 8 : 3

Wing span is 16 inches  and body length is 6 inches

So ratio becomes 16 : 3

In these two ratios 8: 3  and 16: 6 , the simplest form is 8: 3
