Final answer:
To make the ice cream, Bernie needs 1.5 pints of cream.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many pints of cream Bernie needs to make the ice cream, let's first convert the 6 cups to pints. Since there are 2 pints in 1 quart and 4 cups in 1 quart, we can set up a proportion:
4 cups / 1 quart = 6 cups / x quarts
Cross-multiplying gives us 4x = 6*1, which simplifies to 4x = 6. Dividing both sides by 4 gives us x = 6/4 = 1.5.
So, Bernie needs 1.5 pints of cream to make the ice cream.
