Answer:

4 to 1

Explanation:

For herself alone, she uses a ratio of

8 tablespoons of cocoa to 2 tablespoons of sugar

The ratio is

8 to 2

We divide both numbers by 2 to get the simplified ratio

4 to 1

For two, she doubles the recipe, so she uses the ratio

16 tablespoons of cocoa to 4 tablespoons of sugar

The ratio is

16 to 4

We divide both numbers by 4 to get the simplified ratio

4 to 1
