Answer:

2:1

Explanation:

Think of ratios like fractions.

8:4 is a ratio.

If you turn that ratio into a fraction, it will be ---> 8/4

Now, simplify 8/4.

The numerator and denominator share a greatest common factor of 4.

Divide 8 and 4 by 4, which makes the fraction: 2/1

Finally, to put your answer as a ratio again, 2/1 equals to 2:1
