2 Tables. A 2-column table with 2 rows is titled Table A. Column 1 is labeled Squares with entries 5, 10. Column 2 is labeled Circles with entries 3, 6. A 2-column table with 2 rows is titled Table B. Column 1 is labeled Squares with entries 10, 20. Column 2 is labeled Circles with entries 3, 9.

Which statement is true about the ratios of squares to circles in the tables?
The ratios in Table A are greater than the ratios in Table B.
The ratios in Table B are greater than the ratios in Table A.
Only some of the ratios in Table A are greater than the ratios in Table B.
The ratios in Table A are equal to the ratios in Table B.

To compare the ratios of squares to circles in both tables, let's calculate the ratios for each row in Table A and Table B.

**Table A:**
- For the first row:
- Squares: 5
- Circles: 3
- Ratio (Squares to Circles) = 5/3 ≈ 1.67

- For the second row:
- Squares: 10
- Circles: 6
- Ratio (Squares to Circles) = 10/6 = 5/3 ≈ 1.67

**Table B:**
- For the first row:
- Squares: 10
- Circles: 3
- Ratio (Squares to Circles) = 10/3 ≈ 3.33

- For the second row:
- Squares: 20
- Circles: 9
- Ratio (Squares to Circles) = 20/9 ≈ 2.22

Now we can compare the ratios:

- Table A ratios: 5/3 (≈ 1.67) for both rows.
- Table B ratios: 10/3 (≈ 3.33) for the first row and 20/9 (≈ 2.22) for the second row.

Now let's summarize the comparisons:
- 5/3 (≈ 1.67) from Table A is less than 10/3 (≈ 3.33) from Table B.
- 5/3 (≈ 1.67) from Table A is also less than 20/9 (≈ 2.22) from Table B.

Based on the calculations, all ratios in Table A are less than the ratios in Table B.

Thus, the true statement is:
**The ratios in Table B are greater than the ratios in Table A.**
