Brian's recipe of lemonade requires more water than Alyssa's lemonade recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Alyssa's recipe,

2.5 gallons of water needed for 9 lemons.

So for 36 lemons, [tex]$\frac{2.5\times 36}{9}[/tex]   = 10 gallons of water needed

For Brian's recipe,

4 gallons of water needed for 12 lemons,

So for 36 lemons, [tex]$\frac{4\times 36}{12}[/tex]  = 12 gallons of water needed.

So Brian's recipe needs more water when compared to Alyssa's recipe.
