Using proportions, it is found that:

Due to the higher ratio of raisins per ounce, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins to ounces.

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

For brand A:

  • 60 raisins per 24 ounces, thus:

[tex]\frac{60}{24} = 2.5[/tex]

Thus, for brand A, 2.5 raisins per ounce.

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

For brand B:

  • 18 raisins in 6 ounces of cereal.
  • 36 raisins in 12 ounces.
  • 60 raisins in 20 ounces.
  • 72 raisins in 24 ounces.

[tex]\frac{72}{24} = \frac{60}{20} = \frac{36}{12} = \frac{18}{6} = 3[/tex]

Thus, for brand B, 3 raisins per ounce.

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

For brand C:

  • 50 raisins for 40 ounces, thus:

[tex]\frac{50}{40} = 1.25[/tex]

Thus, for brand C, 1.25 raisins per ounce.

Due to the higher ratio of raisins per ounce, brand B advertises the greatest ratio of raisins to ounces.
