To determine which row does not fit the pattern based on the honey to oats ratio, we can calculate the ratio for each row.

Let's summarize the data you've provided:

  • Row 1: 1 tbsp honey to 2 cups oats (Ratio = 1:2)
  • Row 2: 1 tbsp honey to 6 cups oats (Ratio = 1:6)
  • Row 3: 2 tbsp honey to 4 cups oats (Ratio = 2:4, which simplifies to 1:2)
  • Row 4: 3 tbsp honey to 8 cups oats (Ratio = 3:8)

Now, let's identify if there's a consistent pattern in ratios between honey and oats:

  • Row 1: Ratio = 1:2
  • Row 2: Ratio = 1:6
  • Row 3: Ratio = 1:2 (same as Row 1)
  • Row 4: Ratio = 3:8 (not proportionate to others)

From the analysis, Row 2 with the ratio of 1:6 does not fit the pattern established by rows 1 and 3, which both have a honey to oats ratio of 1:2.

Now, to make the honey to oats ratio consistent (1:2), if you keep the amount of honey as 1 tbsp, you would need:

1 tbsp honey x 2 = 2 cups oats.

For amount of honey at 3 tbsp (as seen in row 4), you'd need 3 * 2 = 6 cups of oats to keep a 1:2 ratio.

Thus, for Row 2, if you stick with 1 tbsp honey, you would need 2 cups of oats to make this ratio fit with the 1:2 pattern.

In conclusion, the row that does not fit the pattern is Row 2, and you would need 2 cups of oats to make the ratio fit with the amount of honey kept at 1 tbsp.
