The school cafeteria makes cheese sauce for macaroni using 15 cups of Swiss cheese and 17 cups of cheddar cheese. So the ratio of Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese is:
15:17
(∴ this ratio can't solve any further)
Now, Perry tries to make the sauce for a family party using 5 cups of Swiss cheese and 7 cups of cheddar cheese, so she is using the ratio as 5:7
Both ratios are different, which means Perry is not using the right ratio.
