Of the 30 girls who tried out for the lacrosse team at euclid middle school, 12 were selected. of the 40 boys who tried outo, 16 were selected. are the ratios of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out the same for both boys and girls? how do you know?

For girls: 12/30 = 4/10 = 2/5

For boys: 16/40 = 4/10 = 2/5

The ratios of the number of students on the team to the number of students trying out for both boys and girls are the same since 12/30 = 16/40...

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
