Answer:

6 hearts to 9 stars

Explanation:

If a set of stickers contains 4 hearts for every 6 stars, this means that

4 hearts = 6stars

1 heart = x

Cross multiply

4x = 1*6

4x = 6

x = 6/4

x = 3/2

Number of hearts = 3/2 * 4 = 3*2 = 6

Number of stars = 3/2 * 6 = 3 * 3 = 9

Hence equivalent ratio of hearts to stars is 6 hearts to 9 stars
