In an art class there are two people who prefer painting, three that prefer drawing and one that prefers watercolors. Steven says it does not matter which term is first when you compare drawing to painting. He argues that it can be written as 3:2 or 2:3. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

I do not agree because 3 would represent the drawing and 2 represents painting, and we are comparing drawing to painting, not painting to drawing. The order of terms in a comparison matters.
