Answer:

4 : 3

Explanation:

Your ratio will be written as z : x. Plug in your values and you get 8 : 6. This can also be represented by the fraction 8/6. You can then simplify this by dividing the top and the bottom by 2 (therefore leaving the fraction as the proportion) giving you 4/3 or 4:3

In mathematics, a ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second. The ratio of x to z in the simplest form would be as follows:

x/z = 6/8 ÷ 2/2= 3/4
