look at the numerator and denominator. if you can use the same number to multiple or divde to get it

B is equivalent because 8/12 becomes 24/26 if I times by 3/3

8/12 simplifies to 2/3 by dividing the top and bottom by 4

24/36 divide top and bottom by 12= 2/3

4/6 divide top and bottom by 2 = 2/3

6/10 divide top and bottom by 2 = 3/5

Choice D
