Question

Nadia needs one cup of ice cream for every student in her class for their year-end party. the ice cream is only sold in pints. if there are 24 students in her class, how many pints of ice cream will she need? describe how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

12 pints

Explanation:

There are 24 students & each one gets 1 cup, so you will need 24 cups total. There are 2 cups in a pint. You divided the 24 cups you need by 2 cups in a pint to get the answer of 12 pints.

You can double check: 12 pints converted to cups (2 cups in a pint) is 12 x2 = 24 cups
