jamal purchased 16 1/4 pints of ice cream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 13/16 pint of ice cream, how many guests can Jamal serve?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to divide the total amount of ice cream that Jamal purchased by the amount of ice cream each guest will be served.

Since there are 16 1/4 pints of ice cream, this is equal to:

16 1/4 = 65/4

Each guest will be served 13/16 pint of ice cream.

So, the number of guests that Jamal can serve is:

(65/4) / (13/16) = (65/4) x (16/13) = 1040/52 = 20

Therefore, Jamal can serve 20 guests.
