18 people calls for x liters of lemon soda

24 people = 4 liters

18 people = x

24x = 72

Divide both-side of the equation by 24

x = 3

18 peoples calls for 3 liters of soda

PINT OF SHERBET

24 people calls for 2 pint of sherbet

18 people calls for x pint of sherbet

24 people = 2 pint

18 people = x

24x = 36

Divide both-side of the equation by 24

x =1.5

18 peoples calls for 1.5 pint of sherbet

CUPS OF RICE

24 peoples calls for 6 cups of rice

18 people calls for x cups of rice

24 people = 6 cups of rice

x=4.5

18 people calls for 4.5 cups of rice

Hence, 18 people calls for; 3 liters of soda, 1.5 pint of sherbet and 4.5 cups of rice
