    Neither are correct.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number of legs = the number of ants * 6.

    The relationship is L = 6 a so neither are correct.

    Answer: Both equations are incorrect.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ants have 6 legs:

    The equation of Elena is:

    a = 6*L

    where a is ants and L is legs.

    this equation says that are equal number of ants tan 6 times the number of legs, this is is not the case;

    the number of legs is six times the number of ants, because each ant has 6 legs: L = 6*a

    the Andre equation is:

    L = 0.166*a

    Which, again, it is incorrect.

    in this case the equation should be:

    a = 0.166*L

    and the ratio of ants to legs is 1:6 wich means that there is one ant for each 6 legs.

    Both options are incorrect
