To find out whose trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts, we need to calculate the ratio for both Kiera and Desmond.
1. **Kiera's Trail Mix:**
- Raisins: 2 cups
- Nuts: 5 cups
- Ratio of raisins to nuts = \( \frac{\text{Raisins}}{\text{Nuts}} = \frac{2}{5} \)
2. **Desmond's Trail Mix:**
- Raisins: 3 cups
- Nuts: 6 cups
- Ratio of raisins to nuts = \( \frac{\text{Raisins}}{\text{Nuts}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \)
Now, let's compare the two ratios:
- Kiera's ratio: \( \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \)
- Desmond's ratio: \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
Since \( 0.4 < 0.5 \), Kiera's trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts.
**Conclusion:** Kiera's trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts.

- Desmond's ratio: \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
Since \( 0.4 < 0.5 \), Kiera's trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts.
**Conclusion:** Kiera's trail mix has a lower ratio of raisins to nuts.
