Answer:

1/4 or 3/12

Explanation:

hope this helps. If you divide both numbers by 2 you get 3/12, and if you divide by 3 you get 2/8 which equals 1/4.

The ratio would be 1:4, I would start with dividing each number by 2 then working from there. With diving by two you would end up with 3:12 which you then can divide by 3 since 12 is divisible by 3. This would get you 1:4.
