Ratio is merely the fraction of two terms. For example, when you cook a recipe, you are given a ration of 1 cup of milk is to two eggs. In this case, the ratio of milk to eggs is 1/2 or 1:2.

For this problem,let's divide each row of values to get the ratio. The ratio for all of this pair of values must coincide with each other. The solution is as followsL

Hot Popcorn Corn/Caramel Corn
5/8 = 5/8
10/16 = 5/8
15/24 = 5/8

Therefore, the ratio is 5/8. It can also be in decimal form which is equal to 0.625.
