32: __ = 12 : 24

32 divided 3 = 12

so that means __ divide 3 should be 24

24 * 3 = 72

Plug it in:

32:72 = 12: 24

Does 32:72 simplify to 12:24? Yes, so it should be your answer... unless the question is asking for something else.

the answer would be 64 since the equation is 32:_=12:24, and 12:24 simplified would be 1:2, 32 times two would be equal to 64, making the ratio complete and correct.
Hope this helps
