Answer: Total products = 108

Explanation: Ratio of solid to liquid products is 3:4 and there are 36 solids, so:


(3)/(4) = (Pl)/(36)


Pl = (36.3)/(4)

Pl = 27

Ratio of solid to gas is 4:5:


(4)/(5)=(36)/(Pg)


Pg=(36.5)/(4)

Pg = 45

Total products is the sum of all products:

P = Ps + Pl + Pg

P = 36 + 27 + 45

P = 108

There are a total of 108 products.
