Answer:

12

Explanation:

You could think of ratios as fractions :

Whatever we do to the top we must do to the bottom to keep it equivalent .

If we multiply the first thing by something we must do the multiply by the same number to the second.

2 × m = 8

m = 4

3 × m = ?

m = 4

3 × 4 = 12

? = 12

So the number that makes the ratio equivalent is 12

2:3 = 8:12

Hope this helped and have a good day
