Alec makes jam to sell at a local farmers' market. To make last week's batch, he used 2 cups of sugar and 18 cups of berries. It was so popular that he made a larger batch this week. To make this week's batch, Alec used 4 cups of sugar and 30 cups of berries, and the jam sold out even faster. Which batch had a greater ratio of sugar to berries?

This week's batch had the greater ratio of sugar to berries

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week's ratio was 2:18

This week's ratio was 4:30

Now, we can simplify both of these:

Divide last week's by 2:

1:9

Divide this week's by 2:

2:15

1:9 is equivalent to 0.11, and 2:15 is equivalent to 0.13

So, this week's batch had the greater ratio of sugar to berries
