Motel uses 8 ounces of sugar to make 36 fluid ounces of lemonade. If he makes 108 fluid ounces of lemonade to bring to a party, how many ounces of sugar will he use

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of ounces of sugar he will need for 108 fluid ounces of lemonade.

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
