Answer:

Annie made the mistake of either swapping the numbers or the items in her comparison.

Explanation:

The ratio of lollipops to cookies is:

6/9

This can be simplified to:

2/3

That means that for every two lollipops, there are three cookies. Therefore Annie made the mistake of either swapping the numbers or the items in her comparison.
