Question

Don bought 3 1⁄2 quarts of ice-cream for a party. Four pints were eaten. How many pints remained?

Answer 1

Answer is 3 pints remaining

Step by step

Let’s change 3 1/2 quarts to pints

There are 2 pints to 1 quart so multiply 3 1/2 x 2

3 1/2 or 7/2 as a mixed fraction x 2

7/2 x 2/1 = 14/2
Divide 14/2 to simplify = 7 pints

7 pints - 4 pints = 3 pints remaining
