Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that in a marching band there are 24 trombones and 15 snare drums.  

Heather says the ratio of trombones to snare drums is 24:15. We can represent Heather's ratio in a fraction as:

Audrey disagrees and says the ratio is 8:5. We can represent Audrey's ratio in a fraction as:

As proportions states that two quantities are equal, so we will use proportions to find whether both are right or not.  

Upon reducing left side fraction of our equation to lowest terms we will get,

Upon cancelling out 3 we will get,  

We can see that both sides of our equation are equivalent, therefore, Heather and Audrey are both correct.  

the answer is c hope it
