Given:
Kelly purchased 5 containers of ice cream for a party.
Each container holds 8 cups of ice cream.
Her brother ate 2 cups of ice cream.
One serving of ice cream = 2/3 of a cup.
To find:
Number of servings of ice cream will be left for the party?
Solution:
We have,
1 container = 8 cups of ice cream
5 containers = 5×8 = 40 cups of ice cream
Her brother ate 2 cups of ice cream. So, remaining cups of ice cream is
[tex]40-2=38[/tex] cups
Now,
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of a cup = 1 serving
1 cup = [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] serving
38 cup = [tex]38\times \dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] serving
= [tex]19\times 3[/tex] serving
= 57 serving
Therefore, 57 servings of ice cream will be left for the party.
