To determine which row does not have the same ratio of gallons to cups as the others, we will calculate the ratio for each row.

  • For Row 1: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{30 \text{ cups}}{2 \text{ gallons}} = 15 \text{ cups per gallon} \]

  • For Row 2: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{85 \text{ cups}}{5 \text{ gallons}} = 17 \text{ cups per gallon} \]

  • For Row 3: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{135 \text{ cups}}{9 \text{ gallons}} = 15 \text{ cups per gallon} \]

  • For Row 4: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{180 \text{ cups}}{12 \text{ gallons}} = 15 \text{ cups per gallon} \]

Now comparing the ratios:

  • Row 1: 15 cups per gallon
  • Row 2: 17 cups per gallon
  • Row 3: 15 cups per gallon
  • Row 4: 15 cups per gallon

The ratio in Row 2 is different from the others.

Therefore, the row that does not have the same ratio as the others is Row 2.
