Question

Yoda Soda is the intergalactic party drink that will have all your friends saying, "Mmmmmm, good this is!" You are throwing a party, and you need 5 liters of Yoda Soda for every 12 guests. If you have 36 guests, how many liters of Yoda Soda do you need?

Answer 1

Answer:15 L
You do the same thing to the # of people as you do for the # of Liters so, 12*3=36 and 5*3 is 15, so that is why it's fifteen. If you need more explaining let me know! :)

Answer 2

Make a proportion.
12 Guests-5 liters
36 guests-?Liters.
Then cross multiply.
5*36/12=15 liters.
!5 should be the answer.
