Answer:

Taylor got 8 gallons of candy.

Explanation:

I. As you can see jug is greater than gallon

So the ratio is
(jug)/(gallon) = (3)/(2)

II. If Taylor got 12 jugs that means

3x = 12

x = 4

III. So make it equa by multiply 4 in jug and gallon

=
(3)/(2) * (4)/(4)

=
(12)/(8)

So Taylor got 12 jugs and 8 gallons

Ask me anything.
