Answer:

I can make a maximum of 18 cups of lemonade with the supplies on hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplies on hand

80 lemons

3 bags of sugar=3×6cups= 18cups of sugar

10 gallons of water= 10×16cups=160cups of water

Assuming a cup of lemonade consist of a lemon, a cup of sugar and a cup of water, after making 18 cups of lemonade, I will have less than 5 lemons and 20 cups of water left
