    Answer:

    orange juice

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1 water -> 2÷8

                    = 0.25

    1 orange juice ->1.50 ÷ 3

                        = 0.50

    hence, orange juice is more expensive

    I believe you can use ratios and multiply both of them like fractions to get the same amount of bottles and compare the prices fairly.

    2:8 = 2/8
    1.5:3 = 1.5/3

    (2/8)3 = 6/24 or $6 per 24 bottles
    (1.5/3)8 = 12/24 or $12 per 24 bottles

    In conclusion, the latter ($1.50 for 3) costs more than the $2 per 8.
