Dear Teacher,

      There are two sentences in which I don't know how to pronounce the signs:

       pages 37-40
       The ratio between these two pieces is thus 1:17

        How to read 37-40?  37 to 40 or 37 through 40?  Why? 

        And how to read 1:17?

        Thanks in advance.

.
pages 37-40 = pages thirty-seven through/to forty
1:17 = one to seventeen
