Ms. wapel is serving ice cream at her party. she has purchased 23 3/4 pints of ice cream. she will serve 1/3 of a pint to each guest. how many guest can be served ice cream?

Approximately 71 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Wapel is serving ice cream at her party. She has purchased 23 3/4 pints of ice cream. Expressing 23 3/4 pints of ice cream as improper fraction, it will become 95/4

She will serve 1/3 of a pint to each guest. To determine the number of guests that can be served ice cream, we will divide the total pints of ice cream that she purchased by the number of pints that she wants to serve each guest. It becomes

95/4 ÷1/3 = 95/4 × 3/1 = 71.25

She can serve approximately 71 guests

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
