From the given information, we know that for every 4 blue crayons, there are 3 white ones.

Using this ratio, we can determine the number of white crayons if there are 8 blue ones.

Since 8 is double 4, we can double the number of white crayons.

So, if there are 8 blue crayons, there would be 3 white crayons x 2 = 6 white crayons.

Therefore, the answer is 6; 16.

Similarly, if there are 12 white crayons, we can use the same ratio to find the number of blue crayons.

Since 12 is triple 4, we can triple the number of blue crayons.

So, if there are 12 white crayons, there would be 4 blue crayons x 3 = 12 blue crayons.

Therefore, the answer is 12; 16.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the problem using the correct information.

From the given table, we can see that for every 3 white crayons, there are 4 blue crayons.

To find the number of white crayons when there are 8 blue ones, we need to set up a proportion:

(3 white crayons) / (4 blue crayons) = x white crayons / 8 blue crayons

Solving for x, we have:

x = (3 white crayons / 4 blue crayons) * 8 blue crayons

x = 6 white crayons

Therefore, there would be 6 white crayons if there are 8 blue ones.

To find the number of blue crayons when there are 12 white ones, we set up the same proportion:

(3 white crayons) / (4 blue crayons) = 12 white crayons / x blue crayons

Solving for x, we have:

x = (4 blue crayons / 3 white crayons) * 12 white crayons

x = 16 blue crayons

Therefore, there would be 16 blue crayons if there are 12 white ones.

The correct answer is 6; 16.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the problem using the correct information.

From the given table, we can see that for every 3 white crayons, there are 4 blue crayons.

To find the number of white crayons when there are 8 blue ones, we need to set up a proportion:

(3 white crayons) / (4 blue crayons) = x white crayons / 8 blue crayons

Cross-multiplying, we have:

4x = 3 * 8

4x = 24

Dividing both sides by 4, we find:

x = 6

Therefore, there would be 6 white crayons if there are 8 blue ones.

To find the number of blue crayons when there are 12 white ones, we again set up a proportion:

(3 white crayons) / (4 blue crayons) = 12 white crayons / x blue crayons

Cross-multiplying, we have:

3x = 4 * 12

3x = 48

Dividing both sides by 3, we find:

x = 16

Therefore, there would be 16 blue crayons if there are 12 white ones.

The correct answer is 6; 16.
