1. Problem Description

The problem asks to identify which of the given ratios are equivalent to the ratio 12:3212:32. The given ratios are 3:83:8, 6:166:16, 32:1232:12, 13:3313:33, and 14:3414:34.

2. Solution Steps

First, simplify the ratio 12:3212:32 by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

4. $$12:32 = \frac{12}{4} : \frac{32}{4} = 3:8$$

Now, we need to check which of the given ratios are equivalent to 3:83:8.
* 3:83:8 - This is already in the simplified form and is equivalent to 3:83:8.
* 6:166:16 - Simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

2. $6:16 = \frac{6}{2} : \frac{16}{2} = 3:8$. This ratio is equivalent to $3:8$.

* 32:1232:12 - This is the reverse of the original ratio, and simplifying it gives us:
32:12=324:124=8:332:12 = \frac{32}{4} : \frac{12}{4} = 8:3. This is not equivalent to 3:83:8.
* 13:3313:33 - This ratio cannot be simplified further, and it is not equivalent to 3:83:8.
* 14:3414:34 - Simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is

2. $14:34 = \frac{14}{2} : \frac{34}{2} = 7:17$. This is not equivalent to $3:8$.

Therefore, the ratios equivalent to 12:3212:32 (or 3:83:8) are 3:83:8 and 6:166:16.

3. Final Answer

The ratios equivalent to 12:3212:32 are 3:83:8 and 6:166:16.
