Question

Carly purchased 9 1/2 pints of icecream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 3/5 pint of ice cream, what is the greatest number of guests that Carly can serve?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

9 1/2 = 19/2

(19/2)/(3/5) = (19/2)*(5/3) = 95/6 = 15 5/6.

You cant serve 5/6 of a person so your answer is

15 people
