1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio 3:73:7. We are given four options: 36:8436:84, 56:7056:70, 7:37:3, and 5:85:8.

2. Solution Steps

To determine if a ratio is equivalent to 3:73:7, we can write the ratio as a fraction and simplify it. If the simplified fraction is equal to 37\frac{3}{7}, then the ratios are equivalent.
* Consider the ratio 36:8436:84. We can write this as the fraction 3684\frac{36}{84}. We simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12:
3684=36÷1284÷12=37\frac{36}{84} = \frac{36 \div 12}{84 \div 12} = \frac{3}{7}. Therefore, 36:8436:84 is equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 56:7056:70. We can write this as the fraction 5670\frac{56}{70}. We simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 14:
5670=56÷1470÷14=45\frac{56}{70} = \frac{56 \div 14}{70 \div 14} = \frac{4}{5}. Since 4537\frac{4}{5} \neq \frac{3}{7}, 56:7056:70 is not equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 7:37:3. This is the ratio 3:73:7 with the numbers reversed. Therefore, it is not equivalent to 3:73:7.
* Consider the ratio 5:85:8. This can be written as the fraction 58\frac{5}{8}. Since 5837\frac{5}{8} \neq \frac{3}{7}, 5:85:8 is not equivalent to 3:73:7.
Therefore, only the ratio 36:8436:84 is equivalent to 3:73:7.

3. Final Answer

36:8436:84
