<h3>What is volume surface area?</h3>

Any particular object's surface area is the space that the object's surface takes up. Volume, however, refers to the quantity of space a thing has. Different shapes and sizes exist in geometry, including spheres, cubes, cuboid shapes, cones, and cylinders, among others. Both the surface area and the volume are unique to each shape.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

The number of gallons that a small cooler can hold is: x gallons.

and a larger cooler can hold: 5x the number of gallons.

(Because it was noted:

In comparison to the smaller cooler, the larger cooler is five times bigger.

Additionally, a party requires 36 gallons of punch in total.

The result is:

x+5x=36

i.e. 6x=36

Divide both sides by 6, and the result is:

x=6

In light of this, the little cooler can contain 6 gallons.
