Answer:

10.5; 13.5

Explanation:

7:8:9=_:12:_

8 is corresponding to 12

12/8=1.5

8*1.5=12

So, multiply 7 & 9 by the same value (1.5) to get the answer.

7*1.5=10.5 or 10 1/2

9*1.5=13.5 or 13 1/2

The ratios are:

7:8:9=10.5:12:13.5

The blank spaces are 10.5 and 13.5 respectively.

Hope this helps ;)
