At
Euclid Middle School, of the 30 girls who tried out for the lacrosse team, 12
were selected and of the 40 boys who tried out, 16 were selected. Are the ratios of number of students on the
team to number of student trying out the same for both boys and girls? How do you know?

Respuesta :

Since the ratio of girls who tried out to the girls that were accepted is 30/12=2.5 and the ratio of boys who tried out to the boys that were accepted is 40/16=2.5, we know that they are the same because 2.5=2.5
