    Zoe caught a lower ratio of catfish to trout on the second day of her fishing trip

    Explanation:

    Proportions and Ratios

    To compare two quantities we can perform them some 'test' operations like subtraction or division. If we subtract the first quantity from the second quantity, the difference can be positive if the second is greater, negative if the first is greater, or zero if they are equal.

    A similar situation comes if we divide the last by the first. If the ratio (division) is greater than one, then the last quantity is greater than the first if it's less than one, the first is greater, and if it's exactly one, they are equal.

    Zoe caught 9 catfish and 6 trout on her first day. It produces a ratio of 9/6=1.5 catfish to trout relation. The second day she caught 17 catfish and 13 trout, which gives us a ratio of 17/13=1.3 catfish to trout.

    Based on the ratios we can say Zoe caught a lower ratio of catfish to trout on the second day of her fishing trip
