Answer:

02:3 and 12:18

Explanation:

A proportion is formed when the larger ratio can be simplified to equal the smaller ratio:

#1

02:3 and 4:12

Reducing the larger ratio: 4:12=1:3

Hence, not a proportion.

#2

02:3 and 6:12

Reducing the larger ratio: 6:12=1:2

Hence, not a proportion.

#3

02:3 and 12:18

Reducing the larger ratio: 12:18=2:3

Hence, they form a proportion.

#4

02:3 and 12:18

Reducing the larger ratio: 12:36=1:3

Hence, not a proportion.
