2019 AMC 12B Problems/Problem 1

Revision as of 10:57, 14 February 2019 by Mguempel (talk | contribs)

Let the first jar's volume be $A$ and the second's be $B$. It is given that $\frac{3}{4}A=\frac{5}{6}B$. We find that $\frac{B}{A}=\frac{3/4}{5/6}=\boxed{\frac{9}{10}}.$ We know that this is the ratio of smaller to larger volume already because it is less than $1.$
