2. Bottle B contains 6 in3 of lotion, and Bottle A contains 4 in3. Bottle B contains more.

4. Bottle B contains 18 in3 of lotion, and Bottle A contains 12 in3. Bottle B contains more.

Answer 1

2. Bottle B contains 6 in3 of lotion, and Bottle A contains 4 in3. Bottle B contains more.

First, find the volume of both bottles.

Bottle A:

1*2*6/3 = 4

Bottle B:

1.5*3*4/3 = 6

Bottle A has a volume of 4 and bottle B has a volume of 6. 6 is larger than 4 so, bottle B contains more.

Hope this helps!
