Model a context with a ratio

Problem

A drink uses \(2~\text{cups}\) of juice and \(5~\text{cups}\) of water. Write the ordered ratio \(\text{juice}:\text{water}\).

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The ratio must preserve the quantities and order named, so juice comes first and water second. We’ll attach each cup count to its ingredient, place those counts in juice-to-water order, and read the relationship back in context. This prevents reversing the terms or replacing the water amount with the total drink.
