The bottle had the greater ratio.

Ratio of dish soap to water in bubble machine

Since Emmet filled the bubble machine with 12 ounces of dish soap and 24 ounces of water,

the ratio of dish soap to water in the bubble machine = amount of dish soap/amount of water

= 12 ounces/24 ounces

= 1/2

= 0.5 : 1

Ratio of dish soap to water in bottle

Also, in the bottle, he mixed 5 ounces of dish soap and 9 ounces of water,

the ratio of dish soap to water in the bottle = amount of dish soap in bottle/amount of water in bottle = 5 ounces/9 ounces

= 5/9

= 0.56 : 1

The greater ratio of dish soap to water

Since the ratio of dish soap to water in the bubble machine = 0.5 : 1 and the ratio of dish soap to water in the bottle is 0.56 : 1, the bottle has the greater ratio, since 0.56 > 0.5.

So, the bottle had the greater ratio.
