Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of lemon poppy to bran muffins.

The bakery sells 8 lemon poppy muffins for every 40 bran muffins. So the ratio of lemon poppy to bran is $\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}$. This means for every 1 lemon poppy muffin, there are 5 bran muffins.

Step2: Check each table.

• Table A: The ratio of lemon poppy to bran is $\frac{5}{1}=5$, which is not $\frac{1}{5}$.
• Table B: The ratio of lemon poppy to bran is $\frac{1}{5}$, $\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$, $\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}$. This matches the ratio we found.
• Table C: The ratio of lemon poppy to bran is $\frac{8}{1}=8$, not $\frac{1}{5}$.
• Table D: The ratio of lemon poppy to bran is $\frac{1}{8}$, not $\frac{1}{5}$.
