9 pounds chicken

6 tablespoon of garlic

8 tablespoon of oil

12 potatoes

Proportion of pounds of chicken to potatoes to feed 9 troops

= 9 : 12

Proportion of pounds of chicken to potatoes to feed 3 troops

=3 : 4


\begin{gathered} Thus,\text{ the answer is } \\ (9)/(12)::(3)/(4) \end{gathered}

The correct option is A
