Answer:
The ratio of boys to girls in a math class is not proportional to the ratio of boys to girls in a science class
154=288
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of boys
y ----> the number of girls
we know that
The ratio of boys to girls is x/y
we have
Math class
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{18}{11}[/tex]
Science class
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{14}{16}[/tex]
equate both ratios
[tex]\frac{14}{16}=\frac{18}{11}[/tex]
Multiply in cross
[tex]14(11)=18(16)[/tex]
[tex]154=288[/tex] ----> is not true
therefore
The ratio of boys to girls in a math class is not proportional to the ratio of boys to girls in a science class
