1. Problem Description
The problem asks to select all ratios equivalent to 2:3 from the given options: 13:30, 14:21, and 8:
9.
2. Solution Steps
To determine if a ratio is equivalent to 2:3, we can write it as a fraction and simplify it. If the simplified fraction is equal to , then the ratios are equivalent.
* Check 13:
3
0. $\frac{13}{30}$ cannot be simplified. Since $\frac{13}{30} \neq \frac{2}{3}$, the ratio 13:30 is not equivalent to 2:
3.
* Check 14:
2
1. $\frac{14}{21}$ can be simplified. Both 14 and 21 are divisible by
7. $\frac{14}{21} = \frac{14 \div 7}{21 \div 7} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Since , the ratio 14:21 is equivalent to 2:
3.
* Check 8:
9. $\frac{8}{9}$ cannot be simplified. Since $\frac{8}{9} \neq \frac{2}{3}$, the ratio 8:9 is not equivalent to 2:
3.
3. Final Answer
14:21
