Multiply the antecedent of each ratio by the consequent of the other. If the products are equal, the ratios are equivalent.
For example, given the two ratios A:B and C:D, if the product of A and D equals the product of B and C, then A:B::C:D (A is to B as C is to D).
Two ratios a:b and c:d are equivalent if the crossproducts are the same.
That is a/b = c/d if and only if a*d = b*c.

You require at least two ratios for them to be equivalent (or not).
What do two equivalent ratios make?

What is the given ration of two equivalent measurements?
There is no real reason for two equivalent measurements to be rationed! The ratio of two equivalent measurements will depend on the units used. The ratio between a length in feet and the equivalent length in inches, for example, is 12:1.

What are the snells law of refraction?
Snell's law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equivalent to the ratio of velocities in the two media, or equivalent to the opposite ratio of the indices of refraction:
