Yes, there are several other prepositions that can be used after "equivalent" besides "of". The most common preposition used after "equivalent" is "to". Other prepositions that are used after "equivalent" are "in" and "for". Other prepositions can be used after "equivalent", but the use of these prepositions is very uncommon. Here are examples using the prepositions "to" "in" and "for" after "equivalent": Ex: My salary is equivalent to yours. Ex: There is nothing equivalent in the United States to that. Ex: The statistics are equivalent for men and women.
