answer in at least 3 complete sentences.

Number of bottles of juice are needed for  24 students = 4

Number of bottles of juice are needed for  42 students = 7

Given that cafeteria worker knows that it takes 3 bottles of juice to serve  a table of 18 students

To find :

1) Number of bottles of juice are needed for  24 students

2) Number of bottles of juice are needed for  42 students

Since its given that 3 bottles of juice to serve  a table of 18 students

So, number of bottles required for one student is given as:

18 students ⇒ 3 bottles

1 student ⇒ "a" bottles

On cross multiplication we get,

number of bottles of juice are needed for  24 students = 24 x number of bottle required for 1 student

number of bottles of juice are needed for  42 students = 42 x number of bottle required for 1 student
