Question

Cora has some ice cream that she is serving for her friend , if Cora gives1/6 of a quart of ice cream to earth of her 8 friends,how much ice cream does she save in total

Answer 1

`(4)/(3) quarts` of ice cream

Explanation:

Given

Number of friends = 8

Size of ice cream = 1/6 quarts

Required

Total ice cream served

Let n represent the number of friends, s represent the size of ice cream and t represents total ice cream served;

t is calculated as thus;

`t = n * s`

`t = 8 * (1)/(6) quarts`

`t = (8)/(6) quarts`

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

`t = (4)/(3) quarts`

Hence, she serves
`(4)/(3) quarts` in total
