Upon calculating, the correct answer among the choices listed above is lake A and lake E. Both lakes have the same proportion of the numbers of crocodiles and alligators.

In the lake A, there are 4 crocodiles and 5 alligators giving a ratio of 4:5
In the lake E, there are 24 crocodiles and 30 alligators giving a ratio of 24:30

Since 4:5 = 24:30, we will prove it.

First, we need to transform both ratios into fraction form to make it easier.

4/5 = 24/30

The next thing to do is to find their decimal forms by dividing their numerators to their respective denominators.

<u>4 ÷ 5 = 0.8</u>
<u>24 ÷ 30 = 0.8</u>

Thus, giving us:

0.8 = 0.8 ; Therefore, lake A and lake E are of the same proportion.

F - Irrational, -13.8
Because the negative sign is not inside of the radical, we can tell that the number is being multiplied by the negative. Thus, do the radical equation first, get the answer 13.8202... and multiply by -1 to get the answer. Also, it is irrational because it is not a perfect square.
