Answer 1

To find out how many quarts could be made in 12 hours, we can set up a proportion:

4 hours = 240 quarts
12 hours = x quarts

Using cross multiplication,

4x = 240 * 12

4x = 2880

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

x = 720

Therefore, in 12 hours, the ice cream shop could make 720 quarts of ice cream.

The correct answer is D) 720 qt.
