Question

Justin’s shop sells 6 1/2 quarts of ice cream each day. How much is this in pints? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed number in simplest form.Include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

`13\:pints`

1) In this question we need to remind ourselves that there is one equivalence between quarts and pints, namely:

`1\:quart--->2\:pint`

2) Based on that, we can write out the following set of ratios:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(6(1)/(2))=(2)/(x) \\ \\ x=2*6(1)/(2) \\ \\ x=13 \end{gathered}`

Note that there is a proportional relationship between them.

3) Thus, this is the answer.
