`\large\underline{\underline{\maltese{\red{\pmb{\sf{\: Explanation :-}}}}}}`

The given ratio is 5:8, Write it as fraction then multiply the numerator and denominator with same number to get the fractions or ratios equivalent to the given one.

• Let's solve!~

`\rule{300pt}{3pt}`

`\large \sf \: 5 : 8 = (5)/(8)`

`\sf \: (5)/(8) * (2)/(2) = (10)/(16) \\ \tt (5)/(8) = (10)/(16)`

First equivalent ratio is 10:16

`\rule{300pt}{3pt}`

`\sf (5)/(8) * (4)/(4) = (20)/(32) \\ \tt \: (5)/(8) = (20)/(32)`

Second equivalent ratio is 20:32

`\rule{300pt}{3pt}`

`\sf \: (5)/(8) * (5)/(5) = (25)/(40) \\ \tt \: (5)/(8) = (25)/(40)`

Third equivalent ratio is 25:40.
