Answer:

Isabella

Step-by-step explanation:

4:2, is Isabella's ratio of honey:lime.

5:4, is Santiagio's ratio of honey:lime.

Therefore, Isabella has 6 equal parts over all and 4/6 of those parts are honey.

Santiago, has 9 equal parts, so he has 5/9 parts of honey.

Next is to make the denominators the same:

That would make the denominators 54 and then you just multiply the opposite denominator to the numerator:

5/9=36/54

4/6=30/54.

This means that Isabella's dressing is sweeter.
