Answer:

Both classes have the same fraction (80% or 4/5).

Explanation:

20 is 4/5 of 25, so 80% of students in Class A passed in first class.

24 is 4/5 of 30, so 80% of students in Class B passed in first class.

Both 20/25 and 24/30 simplify to 4/5, or 80%, so both classes have the same fraction of students passing.
