A spring is compressed between two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$  placed on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. When the blocks arc released, they have initial velocity of $v_1$ and $v_2$ as shown. The blocks travel distances $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively before coming to rest. The ratio $\left( {\frac{{{x_1}}}{{{x_2}}}} \right)$ is
