Peter and Myra are on their school's activity planning committee. They are polling each

homeroom class to find how many students are in after-school clubs. In Peter's class, 9 out of
the 20 students are in clubs. In Myra's class, 12 out of the 24 students are in clubs. Do the
two classes have the same ratio of students in clubs to total students?
yes
No

No cause if you simplify 12/24 it’s 1/2 and 9/20 can’t be simplified (not the same ratio)

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: because 12 out of 24 is 1/2 while 9/20 is a bit off of one half therefore no
