Today in math class, we started a new unit about comparing and scaling. It's all about comparing ratios, data, and the size of objects. The problem we worked on today was about comparing which soft drink people like better: Bolda Cola and Cola Nola. In this case, people preferred Bolda Cola over Cola Nola. It gave us soma data that a group of people found. The data included: 1.) In a taste test, people preferred Bolda Cola outnumbered those who preferred Cola Nola by a ratio of 17,139 to 11,426. 2.) In a taste test, 5,713 more people preferred Bolda Cola. 3.) In a taste test, 60% of the people preferred Bolda Cola. 4.) In a taste test, people who preferred Bolda Cola outnumbered those who preferred Cola Nola by a ratio of 3 to 2.
It asked which one could be used to best promote their business of Bolda Cola. In this case, I think it would be #2 because it shows how many more people preferred it over Cola Nola, and that option makes Bolda Cola look a lot more popular than Cola Nola.
