Yes, 8:4 is an equivalent ratio to 1:2.
To check this, you can simplify the ratio 8:4 by dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
\[
\frac{8}{4} : \frac{4}{4} = 2 : 1
\]
Then, if you compare it to 1:2, you will see that converting 1:2 to the same format by flipping it gives you 2:1. Thus, 8:4 and 1:2 are equivalent ratios.
