Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratios 3:4, 6:4 and 12:16

We are to check if they are equal

6:4 = 6/4 = (2*3)/(2*2) = 3/2 = 3:2

For 12:16

12:16 = 12/16 = (3*4)/(4*4) = 3/4 = 3:4

This shows that 3:4 and 12:16 are equal to each other but all the threee ratios are not equal to one another
