Respuesta :
David needs 36 gallons.
So, 36/z (for now) the bigger cooler is 5x. However, I don’t know what x is. So, the problem can’t really be solved. I’m sorry.

Answer:
Small cooler can hold= 6 gallons
and big cooler can hold= 30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers of gallons hold by a small cooler is: x gallons
and the number of gallons hold by a bigger cooler is: 5x gallons.
( Since it was given that:
The bigger cooler is 5 times as large as the smaller cooler )
Also the total number of gallons of punch for a party is: 36 gallons
Hence, we get:
x+5x=36
i.e. 6x=36
On dividing both side by 6 we get:
x=6
Hence, the number of gallons hold by small cooler is: 6 gallons
and number of gallons hold by big cooler is: 5×6=30 gallons
