1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio 7:87:8. The given options are 2:282:28, 16:1416:14, and 63:7263:72.

2. Solution Steps

We need to check if any of the given ratios are equivalent to 7:87:8. Two ratios a:ba:b and c:dc:d are equivalent if ab=cd\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}.
Option 1: 2:282:28.
We have the ratio 2:282:28, which can be written as the fraction 228\frac{2}{28}. Simplifying this fraction gives 228=114\frac{2}{28} = \frac{1}{14}.
Since 11478\frac{1}{14} \neq \frac{7}{8}, the ratio 2:282:28 is not equivalent to 7:87:8.
Option 2: 16:1416:14.
We have the ratio 16:1416:14, which can be written as the fraction 1614\frac{16}{14}. Simplifying this fraction gives 1614=87\frac{16}{14} = \frac{8}{7}. Note that 87\frac{8}{7} is the reciprocal of 78\frac{7}{8}.
Since 8778\frac{8}{7} \neq \frac{7}{8}, the ratio 16:1416:14 is not equivalent to 7:87:8.
Option 3: 63:7263:72.
We have the ratio 63:7263:72, which can be written as the fraction 6372\frac{63}{72}. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is

9. $\frac{63}{72} = \frac{63 \div 9}{72 \div 9} = \frac{7}{8}$.

Since 78=78\frac{7}{8} = \frac{7}{8}, the ratio 63:7263:72 is equivalent to 7:87:8.

3. Final Answer

The ratio equivalent to 7:87:8 is 63:7263:72.
