Sandra wants to give a party for 60 people. She has a punch recipe that makes 2 gallons of punch and serves 15 people. How many gallons of punch should she make for her party?

Back

To find out how many gallons of punch Sandra needs, we can set up a proportion. If 2 gallons serve 15 people, then for 60 people, we can calculate the required gallons as follows: \( \frac{2}{15} = \frac{x}{60} \). Solving for \( x \) gives us \( x = 8 \). Therefore, she should make 8 gallons of punch.
