Answer:

6 and 32/3

Explanation:

4:3 You should be able to recognize that 8 is a multiple of 4

4x2:3x2 = 8:6

so 6 is on of the possibilities.

Second one:

You have to find a number that when you multiply 3 is becomes 8

3x=8

so x=
(8)/(3)

4x
(8)/(3 ) : 3x
(8)/(3)

32/3 : 8

so the answer for the second is 32/3
