Lance invited 36 people to his party.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
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.
<u>To find the number of people :</u>
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.
