Answer: 16/20, 24/30, and 32/40

We are given a ratio of 8 to 10


\begin{gathered} (8)/(10) \\ \text{ To find the equivalent ratios, the numerator must be a multiple of 8 and the denominator must be a multiple of 10} \\ \text{Multiple of 8: 8 x 1, 8 x 2, 8 x 3, }8\text{ x 4} \\ \text{Multiple of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32} \\ \text{Multiple of 10: 10 x 1, 10 x 2, 10 x 3, 10 x 4} \\ \text{Multiple of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40} \\ \text{For 8 : 10} \\ \frac{8}{10\text{ }}\text{ = }(4)/(5) \\ (16)/(20)\text{ = }(4)/(5) \\ (24)/(30)\text{ = }(4)/(5) \\ (32)/(40)\text{ = }(4)/(5) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equivalent ratios for 8/10 are 16/20, 24/30, and 32/40
