1. Problem Description

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

2. Solution Steps

We need to check if each given ratio is equivalent to 5:15:1. Two ratios a:ba:b and c:dc:d are equivalent if ab=cd\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}.
* Check 25:525:5: 255=5\frac{25}{5} = 5. Since 51=5\frac{5}{1} = 5, the ratio 25:525:5 is equivalent to 5:15:1.
* Check 20:420:4: 204=5\frac{20}{4} = 5. Since 51=5\frac{5}{1} = 5, the ratio 20:420:4 is equivalent to 5:15:1.
* Check 27:227:2: 272=13.5\frac{27}{2} = 13.5. Since 51=5\frac{5}{1} = 5, and 13.5513.5 \ne 5, the ratio 27:227:2 is not equivalent to 5:15:1.
Therefore, the ratios equivalent to 5:15:1 are 25:525:5 and 20:420:4.

3. Final Answer

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