Answer 1

To determine which row does not have the same ratio of gallons to cups, we can calculate the ratio for each row:

1. Row 1:

   • Gallons: 2
   • Cups: 30
   • Ratio: \( \frac{30}{2} = 15 \)

2. Row 2:

   • Gallons: 5
   • Cups: 85
   • Ratio: \( \frac{85}{5} = 17 \)

3. Row 3:

   • Gallons: 9
   • Cups: 135
   • Ratio: \( \frac{135}{9} = 15 \)

4. Row 4:

   • Gallons: 12
   • Cups: 180
   • Ratio: \( \frac{180}{12} = 15 \)

Now we compare the ratios:

• Row 1: 15
• Row 2: 17
• Row 3: 15
• Row 4: 15

The odd one out is Row 2 since it has a ratio of 17, while the others have a ratio of 15.

Thus, the answer is Row 2.
