Answer:She would need 144 liters of soda

Hezekiah Burton · Answer 2

12 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she needs three liters for every 12 guests, and there are 48 guests, we should see how many times 12 goes into 48:

48/12 = 4

Therefore, you need to multiply the amount needed for 12 guests by four:

3 x 4 = 12

You need 12 liters.
