To determine if the given fractions are proportions, we can simplify each fraction and check if they are equal.
-
First, let's check the first pair: \( \frac{16}{8} \) and \( \frac{24}{12} \).
\[ \frac{16}{8} = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{24}{12} = 2 \]
Since both simplify to 2, we conclude that \( \frac{16}{8} = \frac{24}{12} \), so this pair is a proportion.
-
Now, let's check the second pair: \( \frac{8}{4} \) and \( \frac{12}{6} \).
\[ \frac{8}{4} = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{12}{6} = 2 \]
Since both simplify to 2, we conclude that \( \frac{8}{4} = \frac{12}{6} \), so this pair is also a proportion.
Based on the analysis, both pairs are proportions. Therefore, the correct conclusion from the choices provided is:
16/8=24/12, 8/4=12/6.
