Final answer:
To determine the maximum number of tubs of ice cream that can be made with 11 cups of milk, divide 11 by 2, resulting in 5.5 tubs. Since only whole tubs can be made, the answer is 5 tubs.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about the maximum number of tubs of ice cream that can be made with a given amount of milk. Since one tub of ice cream requires 2 cups of milk, we need to determine how many 2-cup portions are in 11 cups of milk. We divide 11 cups by 2 cups per tub to find the maximum number of full tubs that can be made:
11 cups ÷ 2 cups/tub = 5.5 tubs
However, since we cannot make half a tub of ice cream, we can only make a whole number of tubs, which means the maximum full tubs of ice cream that can be created is 5.
