Answer:

6:1 = 12:2

Explanation:

In the second statement, we see that 12 is double the amount of the original, meaning it had been multiplied by 2.

Apply the same rule to the second part of the ratio.

Equation: 1 x 2 = 2

Conclusion: 6:1 = 12:2

The answer is: " 2 " .
__________________________________________________
Note: Given: 6:1::12:x ; Solve for "x" ;

Rewrite as:

6/1 = 12/x ;

6x = (12)*(1) ;

6x = 12 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6" ; to solve for "x" ;

6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;

x = 2 .
