Given:
number of pints used for larger chest = 16 pints
number of pints used for smaller chest = 9 pints

We will use the number of pints used in lieu of the volume of each chest.
16 / 9 is the ratio. Choice A.
Make them into improper fractions
(5*5)+3
(2*3)+2
Final fractions
28/5+8/3
Find a common denominator
Multiply 28/5 by 3
84/15
Multiply 8/3 by 5
40/15
Add - 84+40=124
