Answer:

Both conjectures are true

Explanation:

Given data:

20 baby teeth

32 adult teeth

Roll lost 8 baby teeth

Teeth lost = lost teeth/ total number of teeth

teeth lost = 8/20

Reducing the fraction to its lowest terms

8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5

Conclusion

Both conjectures are true as they are representing the same thing
