Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the ratio of telescopes to students for each class and then compare them.

Step 1: Calculate the ratio for Ann's class The ratio of telescopes to students in Ann's class is 9 telescopes for 21 students. To simplify this ratio, we divide the number of telescopes by the number of students: 9/21 = 0.42857.

Step 2: Calculate the ratio for Deb's class The ratio of telescopes to students in Deb's class is 12 telescopes for 28 students. To simplify this ratio, we divide the number of telescopes by the number of students: 12/28 = 0.42857.

Step 3: Compare the ratios Both ratios are equal, so neither class has a greater ratio of telescopes to students.
