It's your birthday and you are going to have a party. You buy 6 pints of ice cream. If you serve each of your guest 2/3 of a pint, how many guest can be served?

6/(2/3)

6 * (3/2) = 18/2 = 9

Thank u

YW.

To find out how many guests can be served with 6 pints of ice cream, you need to divide the total amount of ice cream by the serving size for each guest.

The serving size for each guest is 2/3 of a pint. To perform the division, divide the total amount of ice cream (6 pints) by the serving size (2/3 of a pint).

To divide fractions, you can multiply the denominator of one fraction by the numerator of the other fraction and vice versa. This is known as finding the reciprocal of a fraction.

So, 2/3 of a pint is equivalent to (2/3) ÷ 1, which equals 2/3.

Now, to perform the division, you can multiply the total amount of ice cream (6 pints) by the reciprocal of the serving size (2/3), which is 3/2.

6 pints × (3/2) = 18/2 = 9

Therefore, you can serve 9 guests with 6 pints of ice cream at a serving size of 2/3 of a pint per guest.
