1. Problem Description
The problem asks to identify which of the given ratios are equivalent to the ratio . The given ratios are , , , , and .
2. Solution Steps
First, simplify the ratio 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 .
* - This is already in the simplified form and is equivalent to .
* - 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 $3:8$.
* - This is the reverse of the original ratio, and simplifying it gives us:
. This is not equivalent to .
* - This ratio cannot be simplified further, and it is not equivalent to .
* - 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 (or ) are and .
3. Final Answer
The ratios equivalent to are and .
