Answer:

"Snack B and C are same ratio"

Explanation:

We need to reduce each fraction and determine whether the ratios are same or not.

3/150 = 1/50

Checking A:

2/75 = 1/37.5

So, this is not equal to 1/50

Checking B:

4/200 = 1/50

THis is the same, so this is equal to 1/50

Checking C:

1/50

it is directly given, so this is equal as well

Hence, Snack B and C are same ratio.
