If two fractions are equivalent

then

the product of the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction must be equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction

so

In this problem we have

9/12 and 6/8

9/12=6/8

9*8=12*6

72=72 ----> is true

that means

The fractions are equivalent
