Question

A store sells water bottles in large and small sizes. There are 24

large water bottles and 18 small water bottles on display in the
store. The manager of the store wants there to be 3 large water
bottles on display for every 2 small water bottles. Should the
manager make any changes to the current display? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, the manager should make changes to the current display. There should be 36 large water bottles and 36 small water bottles, which would be a 3:2 ratio. To achieve this, the manager should add 12 more large water bottles to the display.
