    Han and Tyle are using the ratio perfectly.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Givens

    The ratio is 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal (5:2).

    Now, Han is using 3 cups of water and will use 1 1/5 cups of cornmeal, which is right, because it's under the ratio 5:2. Basically, the number of cups of water is 2.5 times the number of cups of corn meal, beacuse the given ratio is 5/2=2.5.

    If you muliply 1 1/5 x 2.5 = 3. So, Han is right.

    On the other hand, Tyler is using 3 cups of cornmeal and he thinks will need 7 1/2 cups of water, which is also true, because the cups of water must be 2.5 tims the cups of cornmeal, and 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 = 7 1/2.

    Therefore, Han and Tyle are using the ratio perfectly.
