Yes, 4x3=12 and 2x3=6 ; hence 12:6. Common Factors are the best way to solve ratios.

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: What I normally do is I divide the top number by the bottom number to check what the scalar quantity is between the ratios. For the first one I did 4/2 which is 2 and the second once which was 12/6 which is also 2. If the scalar quantities are equal then the ratios are equivalent.
