Answer:
[tex]a:b = 8:3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the ration, we want to get in equation in the form [tex]\frac{a}{b} =\frac{x}{y}[/tex].
We can start by dividing by b on both sides:
3a = 8b
÷b ÷b
[tex]\frac{3a}{b} = 8[/tex]
Now, we can divide by 3 on both sides to get:
[tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]
We can change the format into a ratio:
[tex]a:b = 8:3[/tex]
