Answer 2

A (Elise needs 7 quarts of ice cream)

Explanation:

Okay so we know that Elise is serving 42 people, since she's making 42 chocolate ice cream sundaes.

Since it takes 3 quarts to serve 18 people, we know that the amount of people divided by 6 will equal the quarts.

So 42 people divided by 6 equals 7 quarts.
