3. You have just bought 6 pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for a party you are having. If you serve each of your guests 1/3 of a pint of ice cream, how many guests can you serve? Show your mathematical thinking.

Answer 1

You have 6 pints of the ice cream. If you serve each of your guests 1/3 of a pint of the ice cream and you would like to know how many guests can you serve, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6 / 1/3 = 6 * 3 = 18 guests

Result: You can serve 18 guests.
