PROBLEM

jelect all ratios equivalent to 5:45: 4.
11:211: 2
60:4860: 48
3:6

STEP 1

1. We are given the ratio 5:45:4.
2. We need to determine which of the given ratios are equivalent to 5:45:4.
3. Ratios are equivalent if they simplify to the same simplest form.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the given ratio 5:45:4.
2. Simplify each of the provided ratios.
3. Compare each simplified ratio to 5:45:4.

STEP 3

Simplify the given ratio 5:45:4.
Since 55 and 44 are coprime, the simplest form of the ratio 5:45:4 is itself 5:45:4.

STEP 4

Simplify the ratio 11:211:2.
The numbers 1111 and 22 are coprime, so the simplest form of the ratio 11:211:2 is itself 11:211:2.

STEP 5

Simplify the ratio 60:4860:48.
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6060 and 4848.
The GCD of 6060 and 4848 is 1212.
Divide both terms by 1212:
6012:4812=5:4\frac{60}{12} : \frac{48}{12} = 5:4

STEP 6

Simplify the ratio 3:63:6.
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 33 and 66.
The GCD of 33 and 66 is 33.
Divide both terms by 33:
33:63=1:2\frac{3}{3} : \frac{6}{3} = 1:2

SOLUTION

Compare each simplified ratio to 5:45:4.
- 11:211:2 is not equivalent to 5:45:4.
- 60:4860:48 simplifies to 5:45:4, so it is equivalent.
- 3:63:6 simplifies to 1:21:2, so it is not equivalent.
The ratio equivalent to 5:45:4 is:
60:48\boxed{60:48}
