Answer 1

they are all factors of four

Answer 2

prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32:

I'd suggest that you write the ratio 12:32 as\[\frac{ 12 }{ 32}\]
and then factor both the 12 and the 32. Write out the factors:\[\frac{ 12 }{ 32 }=\frac{ ( ? ) ( ? ) }{ ( ? ) ( ? ) }\] and then reduce this last result by cancelling out the common factor.
