Step-by-step explanation:

let's name the variables for the age of the people as the people themselves :

orlando = omar + 12

carl = 3×orlando

carl + orlando + omar = 68

using the first equation in the second equation, and then that result and the first equation in the third equation :

carl = 3×(omar + 12)

3×(omar + 12) + (omar + 12) + omar = 68

3×omar + 36 + omar + 12 + omar = 68

5×omar + 48 = 68

5×omar = 20

omar = 4

orlando = omar + 12 = 4 + 12 = 16

carl = 3×orlando = 3×16 = 48

the ratio omar : carl : orlando

4 : 48 : 16 = 1 : 12 : 4
