a punch recipe that serves 24 people calls for 4 liters of lemon-lime soda, 2 pints of sherbet,and 6 cups of ice. How much of each ingredient would you need to make an identical recipe that serves 18 people?

You would need 3 liters of lemon-lime soda, 1.5 pints of sherbert, and 4.5 cups of ice. Hope this helps! :)

18/24=3/4 so 3/4 of every ingredient
3/4×4=3 liters of soda
3/4×2=1.5 pints of sherbert
3/4×6=4.5 cups of ice
