Question

You are giving a party. You have 6 pints of ice cream for the party. If you serve 3/4 pint of ice cream to each person how many people can you serve?

Answer 1

This is a matter of division. You want to know how many times 3/4 goes into 6.

Explanation:

`6div3/4`
Since division is the same as multiplying with the inverse:
`6xx4/3=(6xx4)/3=8`

You can serve 8 people.

Check: `8xx3/4=24/4=6` pints
