1. **Determine the total number of parts**  
   The ratio given is $$3:4:6$$. Sum the parts:  
   $$
   3 + 4 + 6 = 13
   $$

2. **Find the value of one part**  
   Divide the total amount $$ R\:6500 $$ by 13:  
   $$
   \text{Value of one part} = \frac{6500}{13} = 500
   $$

3. **Calculate each individual share**  
   - For the first part ($$3$$ parts):  
     $$
     3 \times 500 = 1500
     $$  
   - For the second part ($$4$$ parts):  
     $$
     4 \times 500 = 2000
     $$  
   - For the third part ($$6$$ parts):  
     $$
     6 \times 500 = 3000
     $$

4. **Verify the total**  
   Adding the shares:  
   $$
   1500 + 2000 + 3000 = 6500
   $$  
   which confirms the division is correct.

**Answer:** The amounts are $$ R\:1500 $$, $$ R\:2000 $$, and $$ R\:3000 $$ respectively.
The amounts are R1500, R2000, and R3000.
