Answers:

4 to 6, 2 to 3, 8 to 12, 2:3, and 2/3.

Explanation:

To figure out all of these ratios and figure out which are equal to 8/12, you have to:

Make all of the choices fractions

Find the least common multiple of the denominators.

(All of the answer choices have a common multiple of 12, so multiply the denominator by whatever necessary to get to 12, then multiply the same number by the numerator.)

- 4 to 6 becomes 4/6, 4/6 when you change the denominator to 12 you get 8/12. Therefore 4/6 is equal to 8/12.

- 3/2 becomes 3/2, when you change the denominator to 12 you get 18/12. Therefore 3/2 is not equal to 8/12

- 2 to 3 becomes 2/3, when you change the denominator to 12 you get 8/12. Therefore 2/3 is equal to 8/12

- 3 to 2 is the same as 3/2 so it is not equal to 8/12

- 8 to 12 is 8/12 in fraction form so it is equal to 8/12

- 3:2 is the same as 3/2, so it is not equal to 8/12

- 2:3 is the same as 2/3 and 2/3 is equal to 8/12.

- 2/3 is equal to 8/12.

- 12/8 is not equal to 8/12.
