Answer: No

Explanation:

Let's start with what we know. Ratios can also be written as fractions:

4/1 and 8/3

These fractions do not simplify to the same thing, therefore they are not equal.

No

Explanation:

if you divide 8:3 you get 4:1.5 which is not equivalent. In order for them to be equivalent it would need to be 4:1 and 8:2
