Explanation
The given ratios 12:96 and 2:16 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator
and denominator by their greatest common divisor. For the ratio 12:96, the
greatest common divisor is 12. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by
12 gives us 1:8. For the ratio 2:16, the greatest common divisor is 2. Dividing
both the numerator and denominator by 2 gives us 1:8. Therefore, the ratios 12:96
and 2:16 are equal to 4:32.
