Your solution is correct! Let’s break it down clearly step by step:
-
Determine the total amount of ice cream:
- Each container contains 12 cups of ice cream.
- There are 2 containers.
- Calculation: \( 2 \times 12 = 24 \) cups of ice cream in total.
-
Calculate the number of servings:
- Each serving size is \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup.
- To find out how many servings can be made from 24 cups, we divide the total amount of ice cream by the size of each serving:
- Calculation: \[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{\text{Total ice cream}}{\text{Size of each serving}} = \frac{24}{\frac{3}{4}} \]
-
Dividing by a fraction:
- Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{4} \) is \( \frac{4}{3} \).
- Therefore, \[ \frac{24}{\frac{3}{4}} = 24 \times \frac{4}{3} \]
-
Perform the multiplication:
- Carry out the multiplication: \[ 24 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{24 \times 4}{3} = \frac{96}{3} = 32 \]
Thus, the total number of \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup servings that can be served from the 2 containers of ice cream is 32 servings.
Great job! Your calculations are accurate and thorough.
