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

  • Row 1: 2 gallons and 40 tsp of sugar

    • Ratio = 40 / 2 = 20 tsp per gallon

  • Row 2: 5 gallons and 100 tsp of sugar

    • Ratio = 100 / 5 = 20 tsp per gallon

  • Row 3: 6 gallons and 135 tsp of sugar

    • Ratio = 135 / 6 = 22.5 tsp per gallon

  • Row 4: 12 gallons and 240 tsp of sugar

    • Ratio = 240 / 12 = 20 tsp per gallon

From these calculations, we see that Rows 1, 2, and 4 have the same ratio of 20 tsp of sugar per gallon, while Row 3 has a different ratio of 22.5 tsp of sugar per gallon.

Therefore, the row that does not have the same ratio is Row 3.
