Answer: Ben and Noel

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer you simply calculate the ratio of white marbles to yellow marbles of each boy, and then you compare them.

For John:

[tex]\frac{54}{9} =6[/tex]

For Ben (using simplification):

[tex]\frac{16}{96} =\frac{1}{6} = 0.1666[/tex]

For Noel (using simplification):

[tex]\frac{12}{72}=\frac{1}{6}=0.1666[/tex]

Comparing the ratios you can see that the boys who have the same ratio of white marbles to yellow marbles are Ben and Noel.
