The tables show the amount of water and the amount of sugar used in the sping and in the fall. Wite a sentence that compares the ratios if the number of cups of sugar to the number of cups of warer in each table. then determine how you got your answer

2. To get the ratio for the mixtures, order the pairs (e.g. (6, 4), (15, 10), and check the proportion of each variable in the other variable, using the least common divisor.
