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.

Find the missing value <br> 3/8 +1/?=5/8<br> 3/4-1/?=1/4<br> ?/6 + 1/8= 23/24
steposvetlana [31]
1st one : is 1/4 ( subtract 3/8 from both sides and simplify 5/8 - 3/8 to 1/4. )

2nd one : is 1/2 ( subtract 3/4 from both sides, simplify 1/4 - 3/4 to 1/-2, and then multiply both sides by -1 )

3rd one : is 5/6 ( subtract 1/8 from both sides and simplify 23/24 - 1/8 to 5/6).
