False

1) Let's examine those ratios, and simplify them whenever possible:


\begin{gathered} (15)/(10)=(3)/(2) \\ (2)/(3) \\ (6)/(9)=(2)/(3) \\ (8)/(12)=(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

2) Simplifying those ratios, all the following but 15/10 are equivalent to 8/12

3) So this is a false statement to say that all of those are equivalent except 8 to 12.
