Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

So when finding equivalent ratio in any ratio is finding a common denominator that goes to both numbers for instance:

If you have the ratio 8:16 what is the common factor that can go into both 8 and 16 equally? Well 8 can go into 8 once and 8 can go into 16 twice so lets put this into a problem:

8:16 = (8/8):(16/8) = 1:2

So our equivalent ratio to 8:16 is 1:2.

Hope this helps!!!
