To find the correct ratio, we start with the original figures: 677 mammals and 1,707 reptiles.
First, we can express the ratio as:
\[
677:1707
\]
Next, let's check if this ratio can be simplified. To do that, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 677 and 1,707. However, both numbers are prime to each other, so the ratio is already in its simplest form.
Next, let's evaluate the other options:
1. **677:1,707** - This is the original ratio.
2. **6:1** - Not correct because it does not represent the original ratio.
3. **67.7:170.7** - This is also not correct because it doesn't match the original ratio.
4. **7:6** - This is also not correct.
Since the original ratio is already simplified and correct as **677:1,707**, that is the appropriate answer.
Thus, the answer is:
**677:1,707**
