1. Convert all terms to the same unit. Since $$1 \text{ km} = 1000 \text{ m}$$:
   - $$0.032 \text{ km} = 0.032 \times 1000 \text{ m} = 32 \text{ m}$$
   - $$0.008 \text{ km} = 0.008 \times 1000 \text{ m} = 8 \text{ m}$$

2. Rewrite the ratio using meters:
   $$
   8 \text{ m} : 32 \text{ m} : 8 \text{ m}
   $$

3. Divide each term by the greatest common divisor, which is $$8 \text{ m}$$:
   $$
   \frac{8 \text{ m}}{8 \text{ m}} : \frac{32 \text{ m}}{8 \text{ m}} : \frac{8 \text{ m}}{8 \text{ m}} = 1 : 4 : 1
   $$

The simplified ratio is $$1:4:1$$.
The simplified ratio is $$1:4:1$$.
