1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio 3:23:2. The options are 15:1015:10, 8:128:12, and 30:2030:20.

2. Solution Steps

To determine if a ratio is equivalent to 3:23:2, we can write the ratio as a fraction and simplify it.
If the simplified fraction is equal to 32\frac{3}{2}, then the ratios are equivalent.
First, consider the ratio 15:1015:10. We can write this as the fraction 1510\frac{15}{10}. Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, we get:
1510=15÷510÷5=32\frac{15}{10} = \frac{15 \div 5}{10 \div 5} = \frac{3}{2}
Since 1510=32\frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}, the ratio 15:1015:10 is equivalent to 3:23:2.
Next, consider the ratio 8:128:12. We can write this as the fraction 812\frac{8}{12}. Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4, we get:
812=8÷412÷4=23\frac{8}{12} = \frac{8 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{2}{3}
Since 812=2332\frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \neq \frac{3}{2}, the ratio 8:128:12 is not equivalent to 3:23:2.
Finally, consider the ratio 30:2030:20. We can write this as the fraction 3020\frac{30}{20}. Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 10, we get:
3020=30÷1020÷10=32\frac{30}{20} = \frac{30 \div 10}{20 \div 10} = \frac{3}{2}
Since 3020=32\frac{30}{20} = \frac{3}{2}, the ratio 30:2030:20 is equivalent to 3:23:2.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 3:23:2 are 15:1015:10 and 30:2030:20.
