To find out how many quarts could be made in 12 hours, we can set up a proportion:
4 hours = 240 quarts
12 hours = x quarts
Using cross multiplication,
4x = 240 * 12
4x = 2880
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
x = 720
Therefore, in 12 hours, the ice cream shop could make 720 quarts of ice cream.
The correct answer is D) 720 qt.
