10.5

Answer 2

Ten and a Half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.

Explanation:

The total vanilla ice cream = 7/8 gallons

Ice cream used for 1 milkshake = 1/12 gallon

Now, total number of milkshakes possible =
`\frac{\textrm{Total availibility of ice cream}}{\textrm{Ice cream used for each milkshake}}`

=
`((7)/(8) )/((1)/(12) )  = (7)/(8)  * (12)/(1)  = 10.5`

Hence ten and a half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.
