Answer 2

Tori: 12 oz has 9 grams
Brady: 16 oz has 12 g

What happens if Tori's volume increase to 16 (while proportionately increasing the grams of protein) ?

\[\frac{12}{9}=\frac{16}{x}\\
12x =144\\
x=12\]

So, the amount of protein will be the same in Tori's drink if you increase the volume to 16 oz. So, Compared to Brady's, they have the same quantity of protein each, so they are in a 1:1 ratio

Answer 3

Another way to see this...
If you try 9/12 = 0.75

and 12/16 = 0.75

The amount of protein is found in the same concentration in both drinks.
