John will need 4 punch bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1.) Since he is using 12-liter punch bowls and 200 mL cups. We need to convert milliliters to liters.

200:1000=0.2

Step 2.) We also need to multiply 0.2 by 200, because he has 200 guests. This will tell us how much punch we will need to fill each cup.

0.2*200=40

Step 3.) Now you will divide 40 by 12 since we know that he will need 40 liters of punch to fill up each guests cup once.

40:12=3.333 ...

Since we are dealing with volume and you cannot force more punch into one of the other bowls, you would round up. So, John will need 4 bowls of punch to fill each guests cup once, without refilling to punch bowls.
