1. Problem Description
The problem asks to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio . The available options are , , and .
2. Solution Steps
First, simplify the given ratio by dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
.
Now, check each of the given options to see if they are equivalent to .
* Option 1:
Divide both sides by 8:
.
So, is equivalent to .
* Option 2:
Divide both sides by 3:
.
So, is equivalent to .
* Option 3:
Divide both sides by 2:
.
Check if this is equivalent to by checking if .
and .
Since , the ratio is not equivalent to , and therefore not equivalent to .
Another way is to divide 104 and 98 by 13 and 14 respectively, which would yield and . Hence . Since the original ratio we get that these two are equal by multiplying by 13/2=6.
5. Let's check that:
and . Hence the ratio of is not equivalent to .
Therefore, the ratios equivalent to are and .
3. Final Answer
The ratios equivalent to are and .
