Yes

the pancake recipe calls for a ratio of 4:3 flour to milk

the other recipe is 2:1.5 flour to milk

if you multiply both the flour and the milk in the 2nd recipe by 2

it becomes 4:3 flour to milk

just like converting amounts of recipes

if you change the denominator so that it is equal to the original recipe

the numerator has to change with it giving you an exact comparison
