Answer

$15$ cans

Work Step by Step

Since each serving needs $8$ ounces of lemonade, then the total ounces of lemonade needed for $120$ servings is $$ 8\times120=960\text{ ounces} .$$ Since each can of $12$-ounce lemonade makes $64$ ounces of lemonade, then the number of cans of lemonade needed is $$\begin{aligned} & 960\text{ ounces} \div \frac{64\text{ ounces}}{\text{can}} \\&= 960\text{ ounces} \times \frac{\text{can}}{64\text{ ounces}} \\&= 15\text{ cans} .\end{aligned} $$ Hence, $15$ cans are needed for the $120$ servings.
