Answer:

1,558 cases of 12 cans of soup can be made

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate how many cases of cans of soup can be made;

In the first part, we had 325 cases of 24 cans

Now, if we split the 24 cans into 2 , we have 12 cans ; So the number of cases is now 325 * 2 = 650 cases

In the second part, we had 227 cases of 48 cans

If we split 48 cans into 4 , we can have 12 cans

So the new number of cases here become 227 * 4 = 908 cases

So the total number of cases we have will be;

908 + 650 = 1,558 cases
