Answer 2

Kenny has eaten 44 ice cream scoops.

Explanation:

Given:

Kenny uses
`(1)/(16)` of the chocolate syrup bottle for every scoop of ice cream that he eats.

Now, to find the scoops of ice cream Kenny has eaten, If he has used
`2(3)/(4)` bottles of chocolate syrup.

So, we use unitary method to find the number of scoops of ice cream:

If,
`(1)/(16)` of the chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat =
`1\ ice\ cream\ scoop.`

Then, 1 of the chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat
`=(1)/((1)/(16) ) =16\ ice\ cream\ scoops.`

Thus,
`2(3)/(4)` bottles of chocolate syrup bottle Kenny uses to eat =
`16* 2(3)/(4)`

`=16* (11)/(4)`

`=16* 2.75`

`=44\ ice\ cream\ scoops.`

Therefore, Kenny has eaten 44 ice cream scoops.
