To find two ratios that are equivalent to 12:20, we need to simplify the given ratio.

To simplify a ratio, we divide both terms of the ratio (the numbers separated by the colon) by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 12 and 20 is 4.

Dividing 12 by 4 gives us 3, and dividing 20 by 4 gives us 5. Therefore, the simplified ratio is 3:5.
