Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

The ratio of blue cups to red cups is 10:6 you can figure this out by counting how many blue cups there are and how many red cups there are.

Now that you have your ratio of 10:6 which means for every 10 blue cups there will be 6 red cups. You can work with this and find equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing. In this case you would have to divide in half to find the ratio 5:3

Hope this helps!
