Answer to Question 1

24 cups of sugar per 3 cases of soda.

Global Rationale: cups of sugar/3 cases of soda =1 cup sugar/24 ounces of soda x 16 ounces/1 can of soda x 12 cans/1 case x 3 cases/1 . Multiply the numerators (1 x 16 x 12 x 3 = 576). Multiply the denominators (24 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 24). 576/24 = 24 cups per 3 cases of soda.

Answer to Question 2

2 tablets
