Each ice cream cone at Izzy's Ice Cream Parlor contains $\frac{1}{32}$ of a gallon of ice cream. If Izzy has $\frac{3}{4}$ of a gallon of ice cream left, how many more ice cream cones can she sell?

Answer: 24 cones.

Explanation:

We know that each cone contains 1/32 of a gallon of ice cream.

And Izzy has a total of 3/4 gallons.

How many cones we can make with this? This will be equal to the quotient between 3/4 gallons and 1/32 gallons, which will be equal to the number of times that we can fit 1/32 in 3/4

this is:

N = (3/4 gal)/(1/32 gal) = 24

This means that we can make 24 ice cream cones with 3/4 gal of ice cream.
