Step 1
To find alternative ratios, you can divide both sides by a common factor (this will simplify it) or multiply them both by the same factor.
So, for 12:9, we can divide both sides by 3:
123:93=4:3
Or we can multiply both sides by any number, as long as it is the same for both:
e.g. by 2
12×2:9×2=24:18
e.g. by 113
12×113:9×113=16:12
So, three equivalent ratios (of the many possibilities) are:
4:3
24:18
16:12
Hope this helps; let me know if I can do anything else.

Step 1 
The ratio 12 to 9 is given to us here, and we are requested to write its three comparable ratios. First let us find its equivalent fractions which can be converted into the ratios easily. 
The ratio 12 to 9 can be written in fractional form by considering 12 as the numerator and 9 as the denominator as 129. Let us see if it has common factors, so we get, 
129=3×s43×3 
129=43 
Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction 129 is 43 
Now, if the simplest forms of two or more fractions are equal, they are said to be equivalent.
So, 43 is an equivalent fraction of 129. We multiply the numerator and denominator with a number other than 0 to find equivalent fractions. So let us find two more equivalent fractions. 
1) 43=4×s53×5=2015 
2) 43=4×63×6=2418 
Therefore, 43, 2015 and 2418 are the three equivalent fractions of 129. We know that a fraction of the form ab is written in the ratio form as a:b. Hence, we have 4:3, 20:15 and 24:18 as the three equivalent ratios of 12:9

Step 1 By dividing the numerator and denominator of the provided ratio by three, we can obtain the first ratio. This yields 129=12÷39÷3 =43 The second ratio can then be calculated by multiplying the first ratio by two. This yields 43=4×23×2 =86 Then, the third ratio can be obtained if we will multiply the simplified ratio by 4. This yields 43=4×43×4 =1612 Hence, the 3 equivalent ratios for 129 are 43, 86, and 1612
