Is $$\frac{D_x}{I_x}>\frac{D_z}{I_z}.............\frac{I_z}{I_x}>\frac{D_z}{D_x}..........\frac{I_y+I_x}{I_x}>\frac{D_x+D_y}{D_x}...........\frac{I_y}{I_x}>\frac{D_y}{D_x}..............\frac{D_x}{I_x}>\frac{D_y}{I_y}.$$

(1) The ratio of the number of domestic students to the number of international students is less for Class Y than school Z.
$$\frac{D_y}{I_y}<\frac{D_z}{I_z}$$..
$$\frac{D_y}{I_y}<\frac{D_z}{I_z}.............\frac{I_z}{I_y}<\frac{D_z}{D_y}..........\frac{I_y+I_x}{I_y}<\frac{D_x+D_y}{D_y}...........\frac{I_x}{I_y}<\frac{D_x}{D_y}..............\frac{D_x}{I_x}>\frac{D_y}{I_y}.$$

(2) More than half of the domestic students of school Z are members of club X and more than half of the international students of school Z are members of club Y.
$$D_x>D_y$$ and $$I_y>I_x$$
since all terms are positive, dividing bigger quantity $$D_x$$ by a smaller number $$I_x$$ will be greater than dividing smaller $$D_y$$ by bigger $$I_y$$
so $$\frac{D_x}{I_x}>\frac{D_y}{I_y}$$
