set up a proportion and see if both sides simplify to the same answer. If the 2 ratios represent a constant ratio they will simplify into fractions
ratio 8:3 same as 24:9

equivalent ratio
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.

any fractions that are equivalent are also equal ratios as a ratio and a fraction are pretty much the same thing.
You can write this as 51:36.Note: You can simplify ratios the same way you simplify fractions; that is, if you find a number that is a factor of BOTH numbers, you can divide both numbers by that factor, to get an equivalent ratio.

the ratio of 1.4 to 2.6 ------is the same as 5.6 to 10.4
Two ratios, a/b and c/d have the same value is a*d = b*c. A ratio, a/b, is said to be simplified if a and b are co-prime.
To divide the numerator and the denominator of a ratio by the same factor means to simplify or reduce the ratio. This is done by dividing both numbers in the ratio by their greatest common factor, which results in an equivalent ratio.
