Answer: Apple Juice.

Explanation:

You have to divide the bottles of apple juice by the number of glasses to get the amount of juice one glass carries. ( 48/8) which is 6. Then when you divide the bottles of orange juice by the number of glasses to get the the amount of juice a glass carries. (37/7) which is 5.

Answer:

apple juice

Explanation:

Divide the bottle of apple juice by the number of glasses to get the amount of juice 1 glass holds:

48 / 8 = 6

Therefore, each glass holds 6 oz of apple juice

Divide the bottle of orange juice by the number of glasses to get the amount of juice 1 glass holds:

35 / 7 = 5

Therefore, each glass holds 5 oz of orange juice

A glass of apple juice contained more juice as 6 > 5
