Packaging A company makes a tin to hold flavored popcorn. The tin is a rectangular prism with a square base. The company is designing a new tin with the same base and twice the height of the old tin. EXAMPLE 2 Solve a multi-step problem • Find the surface area and volume of each tin. • Calculate the ratio of surface area to volume for each tin. • What do the ratios tell you about the efficiencies of the two tins?

STEP 3 Because the left side of the inequality has a greater numerator than the right side and both have the same (positive) denominator. The ratio of surface area to volume is greater for the old tin than for the new tin. So, the old tin is less efficient than the new tin. s + 4h 2s + 4h > sh sh EXAMPLE 2 Solve a multi-step problem
