Answer 2

12 ounces soup

Explanation:

Mario is making dinner for 9 people.

Mario buys 6 containers of soup of 18 ounces.

Total amount of soup he buys = 18 × 6 = 108 ounces

All 9 people gets the same amount of soup so divide 108 ounces by 9

= 108 ÷ 9 = 12 ounces

12 ounces soup will each person get.
