7 cans.
Set up a proportion to solve the problem:
24/96=x/96
24/96 is equal to 1/4, so simplify:
1/4=x/28
Cross multiply:
4x=28
Solve for 'x':
x=7
Therefore, you would need 7 cans to serve 28 people

Answer:  The required number of cans is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that 24 extra large cans of soup will serve 96 people.

We are to find the number of cans that Ann should buy to serve 28 people.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

Number of can of soup that will serve 96 people = 24.

So, the number of can of soup that will serve 1 people will be

[tex]\dfrac{24}{96}=\dfrac{1}{4}.[/tex]

Therefore, the number of cans of soup that will serve 28 people is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\times28=7.[/tex]

Thus, the required number of cans is 7.
