1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to select all ratios equivalent to 3:73:7 from a given set of ratios. The given options are 36:8436:84, 56:7056:70, 7:37:3, and 5:85:8.

2. Solution Steps

We need to determine which of the given ratios are equivalent to 3:73:7. To do this, we can simplify the given ratios and compare them to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 36:8436:84. We can simplify this by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is
1

2. $36 \div 12 = 3$

84÷12=784 \div 12 = 7
So, 36:84=3:736:84 = 3:7. This ratio is equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 56:7056:70. We can simplify this by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is
1

4. $56 \div 14 = 4$

70÷14=570 \div 14 = 5
So, 56:70=4:556:70 = 4:5. This ratio is not equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 7:37:3. This ratio is simply the inverse of 3:73:7, and is therefore not equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 5:85:8. There is no obvious common factor, and it's clear that this is not equivalent to 3:73:7.

3. Final Answer

The only ratio equivalent to 3:73:7 is 36:8436:84.
