Step 1

Given;


A\text{ small bottle of water holds 7 ounces of water}

Required; How many ounces of water do 9 bottles hold?

Step 2

To do this we will use the ratio;


\frac{1\text{ bottle}}{9\text{ bottles}}=\frac{7\text{ ounces}}{x}
\begin{gathered} x=7(9) \\ x=63\text{ ounces} \end{gathered}

Answer;
