Answer:
8 bowls
Explanation:
In total, we have 2/3 of a gallon of ice cream. Essentially, we want to divide this 2/3 gallons into b bowls such that each bowl has 1/12 of a gallon.
We can write this as the mathematical equation:
2/3 ÷ b = 1/12
Multiply both sides by b:
2/3 = (1/12) * b
Divide both sides by 1/12:
(2/3) ÷ (1/12) = b
Remember that when dividing fractions, it's the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, so:
(2/3) ÷ (1/12) = b
(2/3) * (12/1) = b
b = 8
Thus, the answer is 8 bowls.
