The relationship between the cans of food and boxes of food that Ingrid collected can be determined by the mathematical equations involving addition/subtraction and multiplication/division.

For addition/subtraction:

D = x – y

Where D is difference, x is the number of cans of food, and y is the boxes. Substituting the known values,

D = 6 – 8 = -2

For multiplication/division:

R = x/y

Where R is the ratio. Substituting the known values,

R = 6/8 = ¾ = 0.75
