Answer 2

$\huge\textbf{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{2 : 1}\\\\\large\text{= 2}\times\large\text{4 : }\large\text{1}\times\large\text{4}\\\\\large\text{= 8 : 4}$

$\large\textsf{8 : 4}\\\\\large\textsf{= 8}\div\large\textsf{4 : 4}\div\large\textsf{4}\\\\\large\textsf{= 2 : 1}$

$\large\textbf{Thus, 2:1 \& 8:4 ARE equivalent.}$
