Answer:

They can make 720 quarts in 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we set up a ratio of 100 quarts:5 hours since that is a given ratio. Since hours was in the denominator of the ratio before, we place the 36 in the denominator of the other ratio, x quarts: 36 hours.

Setting them equal gives the following proportion:

100/5=x/36

Cross multiply to solve:

5x=3600

x=720
