Hello!
We can go through each answer to verify whether each is equivalent to 8 : 6.
4 : 3 is equivalent to 8 : 6 because reducing the ratio 8 : 6 by a factor of 2 yields 4 : 3.
6 : 8 is not equivalent to 8 : 6 because the ratio is reversed.
16 : 12 is equivalent to 8 : 6 because the ratio is increased by a factor of 2.
10 : 8 is not equivalent to 8 : 6. We can verify this by checking whether each term was scaled equally:
10 ÷ 8 = 1.25
8 ÷ 6 = 1.33. Therefore, they are unequal.
7 : 5 is not equal to 8 : 6 for the same reason.
The only correct choices are:
4 : 3 and 16 : 12.
