Answer 1

Computing the ratio of raisins to ounces, it is found that due to the higher computed ratio, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins per ounce.

---------------------------

• For brand A, there are 60 raisins in the 24-ounces box, thus the ratio is of $\frac{60}{24} = 2.5$, that is, 2.5 raisins per ounce.
• For brand B, there are 18 raisins in the 6-ounce box, 36 in the 12-ounce, and it follows this ratio, thus $\frac{36}{12} = \frac{18}{6} = 3$, thus, 3 raisins per ounce.
• For brand C, there are 20 raisins in the 10-ounce box, 30 in the 15-ounce, and so on, thus $\frac{20}{10} = \frac{30}{15} = 2$, thus, 2 raisins per ounce.
• Due to the higher computed ratio, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins per ounce.
