Bella is only receiving the lump sum of $75 after completing every 10 blankets, which is an example of fixed ratio reinforcement. It is not variable since the reward is consistently given after the completion of every 10 blankets. It is not fixed interval because the reward is not based on a specific timeframe, but rather based on her completing batches of 10 blankets.
