1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to select all ratios that are equivalent to the ratio 3:123:12.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the given ratio 3:123:12. Both numbers are divisible by 3, so dividing both by 3 gives:
3/3:12/3=1:43/3 : 12/3 = 1:4
Now we need to check each of the given ratios to see if they simplify to 1:41:4.
Ratio 1: 2:82:8
Both numbers are divisible by 2, so 2/2:8/2=1:42/2 : 8/2 = 1:4. Thus, 2:82:8 is equivalent to 3:123:12.
Ratio 2: 8:98:9
This ratio cannot be simplified further. Also, 8/98/9 is not equal to 1/41/4. Thus, 8:98:9 is not equivalent to 3:123:12.
Ratio 3: 14:1814:18
Both numbers are divisible by 2, so 14/2:18/2=7:914/2 : 18/2 = 7:9. Also, 7/97/9 is not equal to 1/41/4. Thus, 14:1814:18 is not equivalent to 3:123:12.
Ratio 4: 7:287:28
Both numbers are divisible by 7, so 7/7:28/7=1:47/7 : 28/7 = 1:4. Thus, 7:287:28 is equivalent to 3:123:12.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 3:123:12 are 2:82:8 and 7:287:28.
