    16, 24, 32

    Step-by-step explanation:

    One way of doing this is to find a common multiplier of 2, 3 and 4 such that 2n + 3n + 4n = 72.

    Simplifying, we get 9n = 72, and so n = 8.

    Multiply 2, 3 and 4 by this multiplier. We get:

    16, 24, 32.

    Note that these numerals 16, 24 and 32 add up to 72 and are in a 2:3:4 ratio.
