If you simply multiply both numbers you will get another ratio just bigger than the one you currently have. eg:
3*2=6
4*2=8
Therefore 6:8 is the same as 3:4. Similarly 9:12 and 12:16
They are equivalent ratios.
Ratios are used to compare numbers. When you're working with ratios, it's sometimes easier to work with an equivalent ratio.

To find an equivalent ratio, you can multiply or divide both terms of the ratio by the same non-zero number. For example, if you have the ratio 2:3 and you multiply both terms by 2, you get the equivalent ratio 4:6. You can also check if two ratios are equivalent by cross-multiplying; if the cross products are equal, the ratios are equivalent.

A single number cannot be an equivalent ratio!

any fractions that are equivalent are also equal ratios as a ratio and a fraction are pretty much the same thing.
To write equal ratios multiply both terms by the same number or divided both terms. For example, 2/ 9 is a ratio equal ratio will be 4/18. There is no difference between equal ratios and equivalent ratios.
You require at least two ratios for them to be equivalent (or not).
To find an equivalent ratio, you can multiply or divide both terms of the ratio by the same non-zero number. For example, if you have the ratio 2:3 and you multiply both terms by 2, you get the equivalent ratio 4:6. You can also check if two ratios are equivalent by cross-multiplying; if the cross products are equal, the ratios are equivalent.
Ratios equivalent to 8 to 10 can be found by multiplying both terms by the same non-zero number. For example, multiplying by 2 gives 16 to 20, and multiplying by 3 gives 24 to 30. Other equivalent ratios include 4 to 5 and 12 to 15, as these can also be derived by simplifying or scaling the original ratio.
Equivalent ratios for 3 to 11 can be found by multiplying both parts of the ratio by the same number. For example, multiplying by 2 gives the equivalent ratio of 6 to 22, and multiplying by 3 results in 9 to 33. Other examples include 12 to 44 and 15 to 55. All these ratios maintain the same relationship as 3 to 11.
