1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all ratios that are equivalent to 5:15:1. The given ratios are 25:525:5, 20:420:4, and 27:227:2.

2. Solution Steps

To check if a ratio is equivalent to 5:15:1, we can express each ratio as a fraction and simplify it. If the simplified fraction is equal to 51\frac{5}{1}, then the ratio is equivalent to 5:15:1.
First, consider the ratio 25:525:5.
The fraction is 255\frac{25}{5}.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, we get 25÷55÷5=51\frac{25 \div 5}{5 \div 5} = \frac{5}{1}.
Thus, 25:525:5 is equivalent to 5:15:1.
Next, consider the ratio 20:420:4.
The fraction is 204\frac{20}{4}.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get 20÷44÷4=51\frac{20 \div 4}{4 \div 4} = \frac{5}{1}.
Thus, 20:420:4 is equivalent to 5:15:1.
Finally, consider the ratio 27:227:2.
The fraction is 272\frac{27}{2}.
Since 27 is not divisible by 2, we cannot simplify the fraction to 51\frac{5}{1}.
Thus, 27:227:2 is not equivalent to 5:15:1.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 5:15:1 are 25:525:5 and 20:420:4.
