Accepted Solution

A:
So there are 24 muffins, 18 Breakfast bars, and 12 bottles of juice. You would write that ratio as 24:18:12. You would want to make the juice box got down to 1. So you would divide all the numbers in the ration by 12. Your new ratio would be 2:1.5:1. Since you don’t want to break one of the bars in half, you would round down to maximize your baskets, so it would be 2:1:1. You could make exactly 12 baskets and have some breakfast bars left over.
