Solution Steps

To find the ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution, we need to divide the employer's contribution by the employee's contribution.

Step 1: Define Contributions

Let the employee's contribution be \( E = 475 \) and the employer's contribution be \( M = 250 \).

Step 2: Calculate the Ratio

The ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution is given by:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{M}{E} = \frac{250}{475} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Ratio

Calculating the ratio yields:

\[ \text{Ratio} \approx 0.5263 \]

Final Answer

The ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution is approximately \\(\boxed{0.53}\\).
