Answer: Yes. They are thesame

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 30 girls who tried out for the basketball team at Prescott Junior High, 12 were selected. In this scenario the ratio will be:

= 12/30

= 2/5

= 2:5

Of the 40 boys who tried out, 16 were selected. In this scenario, the ratio will be:

= 16/40

= 2/5

= 2:5

The ratio for both are thesame as we got 2:5 for both.
