1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to select all ratios that are equivalent to 12:312:3.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the ratio 12:312:3 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

3. $12:3 = (12/3):(3/3) = 4:1$

Now, check each of the given ratios to see if they are equivalent to 4:14:1.
* 4:14:1 - This is already in the simplified form and is equivalent to 12:312:3.
* 18:518:5 - To check if this is equivalent to 4:14:1, we can see if 18/5=4/118/5 = 4/1. Since 18/5=3.618/5 = 3.6 and 4/1=44/1 = 4, these ratios are not equivalent.
* 16:416:4 - We can simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

4. $16:4 = (16/4):(4/4) = 4:1$

So, 16:416:4 is equivalent to 4:14:1, and therefore also equivalent to 12:312:3.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 12:312:3 are 4:14:1 and 16:416:4.
