Answer 2

The part-to-part relationship between homework help and sports

Explanation:

Assume the table is like the one below.

`\begin{array}{lcl}\textbf{Activity}& \textbf{Students} \\\text{Spanish} & 19 \\\text{Basketball} & 24 \\\text{Drama} & 15\\\text{Homework help} & 17 \\\text{Soccer} & 20 \\\end{array}`

17 students participated in homework help.

44 students participated in basketball (24) and soccer (20), i.e. sports

Both sports and homework help are parts of the whole group of all activities.

Thus, 17:44 represents the part-to-part relationship between homework help and sports.
