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.
