The similarity ratio, I believe, is 2:3.

Because the lengths are 6 and 9 (2:3), the widths are 8 and 12 (2:3), and the heights are 6 and 4 (2:3).

Answer:

6:9>2:3

Explanation:

In order to do this, you just have to equalize the ratio you just need to search for the same sides, so the 6 side is similar with the 9 side on the larger, and then the 8 to the 12 and the 4 to the 6, so you just equalize any of those equal we will use the 8 and 12:

8:12

Now we just reduce it with the same:

4:6

2:3

So the ratio would be 2:3.
