Given that teh ratio of to x in a proportional relationship is 12:3, it means that when y = 12, x = 3. We can simplify this ratio by dividing through by 3. Thus, we have

12/3 : 3/3

= 4 : 1

If we multiply through by 4, we would have

4 * 4 : 1 * 4

= 16:4

If we multiply through by 6, we would have

4 * 6 : 1 * 6

= 24:6

These ratios are all equivalent and they can be found on the second table. Thus, the correct option is the second one
