welcome to QC!!!

so, seeing as for every 5 cups of chocolate chips, she adds three cups of sugar, we know our answer is going to be a fraction. This means we can eliminate options C and D

now we have:
A.) 5 over 3
B.) 3 over 5

We are looking for CHOCOLATE CHIPS to SUGAR which means the number of cups of chocolate chips should come first.

which option choice, A or B, shows this?
