these two
12 in.
8 in.

16 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify first ratio

$\frac{3}{5}$ is already in simplest form.

Step2: Simplify second ratio

Divide numerator/denominator by 2: $\frac{2\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{1}{5}$

Step3: Compare simplified ratios

$\frac{3}{5}
eq \frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

No, Dale is not correct. The ratio $3:5$ simplifies to $\frac{3}{5}$, while $2:10$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{5}$. Since $\frac{3}{5}
eq \frac{1}{5}$, the two ratios are not equivalent.
