1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio 16:1416:14. The available options are 64:5664:56, 24:2124:21, and 104:98104:98.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the given ratio 16:1416:14 by dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
16:14=(16/2):(14/2)=8:716:14 = (16/2):(14/2) = 8:7.
Now, check each of the given options to see if they are equivalent to 8:78:7.
* Option 1: 64:5664:56
Divide both sides by 8:
64:56=(64/8):(56/8)=8:764:56 = (64/8):(56/8) = 8:7.
So, 64:5664:56 is equivalent to 16:1416:14.
* Option 2: 24:2124:21
Divide both sides by 3:
24:21=(24/3):(21/3)=8:724:21 = (24/3):(21/3) = 8:7.
So, 24:2124:21 is equivalent to 16:1416:14.
* Option 3: 104:98104:98
Divide both sides by 2:
104:98=(104/2):(98/2)=52:49104:98 = (104/2):(98/2) = 52:49.
Check if this is equivalent to 8:78:7 by checking if 528=497\frac{52}{8} = \frac{49}{7}.
528=132\frac{52}{8} = \frac{13}{2} and 497=7\frac{49}{7} = 7.
Since 1327\frac{13}{2} \ne 7, the ratio 104:98104:98 is not equivalent to 8:78:7, and therefore not equivalent to 16:1416:14.
Another way is to divide 104 and 98 by 13 and 14 respectively, which would yield 104/13=8104/13 = 8 and 98/14=798/14 = 7. Hence 104:98=13(8):14(7)104:98=13(8):14(7). Since the original ratio 16:14=2(8):2(7)16:14=2(8):2(7) we get that these two are equal by multiplying by 13/2=6.

5. Let's check that:

16(6.5)=10416(6.5)=104 and 14(6.5)=9114(6.5)=91. Hence the ratio of 104:98104:98 is not equivalent to 16:1416:14.
Therefore, the ratios equivalent to 16:1416:14 are 64:5664:56 and 24:2124:21.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 16:1416:14 are 64:5664:56 and 24:2124:21.
