Answer: Not equivalent

Explanation:

2:12 + 2:12 = 4 : 24 ( the 24 is equivalent to the 24 in 6:25 but the 4 is not)

6:24 is greater than 2:12(4:24)

Answer:

They aren't proportional.

Explanation:

First, write then as a fraction:


(2)/(12)
and
(6)/(24)

Using the LCM (24), make a common denominator:


(4)/(24)
and
(6)/(24)

When you compare the numerators now, they aren't equivalent.
