Question

Lance bought 12 quarts of lemonade so that everyone who came to his party could have exactly 1/3 quart. How many people did Lance invite to his party?

Answer 1

Lance invited 36 people to his party.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

• Lance bought 12 quarts of lemonade.
• Everyone who came to his party could have exactly 1/3 quart.

We know that,

The total quarts of lemonade available for the party = 12

Each person in the party consumes = 1/3 quart.

We need to find out how many people did Lance invited to his party.

To find the number of people :

Let us consider 'x' be the number of people invited to the party.

Total lemonade = number of people × lemonade for each person.

⇒ 12 = x × 1/3

⇒ 12×3 = x

⇒ x = 36 people

Therefore, Lance invited 36 people to his party.
