Answer #1

what tamstar said, I didnt really feel like typing that out

Answer #2

I think it is 8. 12:9 could be looked at as 4/3( four thirds, a fration) because there are 4 threes in 12 and 3 threes in 9. So. x = 8 because you need to look at x:6 as being 4/3. if 6 is 3/3 you need one more third to make it 4/3, so 1/3 of 6 is 2, so 4/3 is 8. I hope this helps.
