The expression \( 12:2 \) represents a ratio or can also be interpreted as a division problem.
If you are interpreting it as division:
\[ 12 \div 2 = 6 \]
So, \( 12:2 = 6 \).
If you are looking for the ratio representation:
The ratio \( 12:2 \) can be simplified by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\[ 12:2 = 6:1 \]
