Explanation:

3/4=9/12 CORRECT

2/3=6/12 FALSE

Explanation:

What is done to top of the fraction must be done to the bottom as well in order for the renaming to be true.

3*3 = 9

4*3 = 12

Therefore proven to be true

However,

2*3 = 6

but 3*3 = 9

The second fractions is renamed incorrectly and should be either 2/4=6/12 or 2/3=2/9

Hope this helps!
