Answer:

To compare the ratios of correct to incorrect answers for Jason and William, we need to simplify them to have a common denominator.

For Jason:

Correct:Incorrect = 8:12 = 2:3

Incorrect:Correct = 12:8 = 3:2

For William:

Correct:Incorrect = 12:16 = 3:4

Incorrect:Correct = 16:12 = 4:3

From the ratios, we can see that William had a higher ratio of correct answers compared to Jason. Therefore, William got more correct answers.
