Which ratio is equivalent to 7 : 350?

A. 17 : 950
B. 17 : 900
C. 17 : 875
D. 17 : 850

7:350  is equivalent to 17 : 850

We first reduce the ratio to its simplest term

7:350 =7/ 350= 1/ 50

Using this simplest term 1/ 50 we can now find an equivalent ratio such that when it is reduced to its simplest term is equal to 1/ 50  

Reducing  17 : 950,   17 : 900  and 17 : 875 will not give an equivalent ratio of  1/ 50

17 : 850 can only  be reduced to 1/ 50 which means that the ratios 7:350  is equivalent to 17 : 850
