Answer 1

The 36 guests will be needing 15 liters of soda

Explanation:

In this question, we are told we need 5 liters of soda for every 12 guests that are at a party. Now, we have 36 guests attending the party and we need to calculate the amount of soda in liters that we will be needing.

From the first statement, we need 5 liters for 12 guests, this means each of the guest would need 5/12 liters or let’s just say 5/12 liters/guest

Now, we have 36 guests, the amount in liters needed will be 5/12 * 36 = 15 liters
