Answer 1

Given:

A bowl can hold 1/4 pint of ice cream.

Alyssa eats 1 1/3 pints of ice cream.

To find:

The number of bowls of ice cream she ate.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The required number of bowls is calculated by,

`\begin{gathered} \frac{Amount\text{ of ice cream she ate}}{Amount\text{ of ice cream in each bowl}}=(1(1)/(3))/((1)/(4)) \\ =((4)/(3))/((1)/(4)) \\ =(4)/(3)*(4)/(1) \\ =(16)/(3) \\ =5(1)/(3)bowls \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the number of bowls of ice cream she ate is 5 bowls and one-third part of a bowl.

Final answer:

She ate 5 bowls of icecreams and one-third part of a bowl of ice cream.
