Answer:

8:12, 6:9, and 4:6

Explanation:

Equivalent ratios are any ratios that represent the same when they are simplified. All the ratios above simplify to 2:3. When the 8 and 12 of 8:12 are both divided by 4, the result is 2:3. When the 6 and 9 in 6:9 are both divided by 3, the result is 2:3. When the 4 and 6 in 4:6 are both divided by 2, the result is 2:3. The ratios 10:16 and 9:12 cannot be simplified to 2:3, and therefore are not correct answers.
