liters

Answer 1

15 litres

Explanation:

Given

5 litres = 12 guests

Required

Determine the number of litres for 36 guests

Represent the required number of litres with L.

So, we have the following relationship:

`5\ litres = 12\ guests`

`L = 36\ guests`

Cross Multiply

`L * 12\ guests = 5\ litres * 36\ guests`

`L * 12= 5\ litres * 36`

`12L = 180\ litres`

Solve for L

`L = (180\ litres)/(12)`

`L =15\ litres`

Hence, 15 litres are needed
