In order to calculate how many people can be served by

36 spring rolls we would have to make the following calculation:

So, we can see that for example for 28 people the number of spring rolls that can be served is 56.

Therefore applying the rule of 3 we would be able to calculate the amount of people that can be served by 36 spring rolls.

So, if 56 spring rolls___________________28 people

36 spring rolls____________________x

x=(36 spring rolls*28 people)/56 spring rolls

x=1008/56

x=18 people

Therefore, the amount of people that can be served by 36 spring rolls would be 18 persons.
