I'm not sure how to solve this into a ratio, but a way you could find the average speed, would go like this. First, you'd change minutes into seconds, since you are dealing with meters. then divide. How many meters per second did each person run?

1500 meters in 6.5 minutes = 1500/6.5 =230.7 meters/minute
400/1.5 = 266.7 meters/minute
Dario ran more meters per minute.
400/1.5 = 266.7 meters/minute
Dario ran more meters per minute.
