1. Problem Description

We are asked to find all ratios that are equivalent to 12:1812:18 from the following options: 15:2115:21, 6:96:9, 24:3624:36, 13:1913:19, and 2:32:3.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the given ratio 12:1812:18. We can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

6. $12/6 = 2$

18/6=318/6 = 3
So, 12:1812:18 simplifies to 2:32:3.
Now, we check each option:
* 15:2115:21
Divide both by 3: 15/3=515/3 = 5, 21/3=721/3 = 7. So, 15:2115:21 simplifies to 5:75:7. This is not equal to 2:32:3.
* 6:96:9
Divide both by 3: 6/3=26/3 = 2, 9/3=39/3 = 3. So, 6:96:9 simplifies to 2:32:3. This is equivalent to 12:1812:18.
* 24:3624:36
Divide both by 12: 24/12=224/12 = 2, 36/12=336/12 = 3. So, 24:3624:36 simplifies to 2:32:3. This is equivalent to 12:1812:18.
* 13:1913:19
This cannot be simplified. 13:1913:19 is not equal to 2:32:3.
* 2:32:3
This is already in simplest form, and is the same as the simplified form of 12:1812:18.

3. Final Answer

The equivalent ratios are 6:96:9, 24:3624:36, and 2:32:3.
