Question

Mario is making dinner for nine people Mario buy 6 containers of soup each container is 18 ounces if everyone gets the same amount of soup how much do for each person get

Answer 1

We first need to find out the total amount of ounces  of soup he has.

 1 container  = 18 ounces

6 containers   = x

Where x is the total amount of ounces in 6 containers. 

Cross multiplying  the above equation we get:

1 * x = 6 * 18

x = 108

Total amount of soup he has is 108 ounces.

We now simply divide this by the number of people,  so:

108 / 9 = 12

So each person will get 12 ounces of soup.
