Yes, both pairs of ratios form a proportion.
1) 4/3 and 16/12:
To check if these ratios form a proportion, we cross-multiply:
4 * 12 = 3 * 16
48 = 48
Since the cross-products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.
2) 4/3 and 8/6:
Again, we cross-multiply:
4 * 6 = 3 * 8
24 = 24
With equal cross-products, these ratios also form a proportion.
