Question

Jennifer has 75 pounds of strawberry ice cream. Jennifer is going to serve the ice cream at her birthday party. If every serving is $\frac{2}{3}$ of a pound of ice cream, how many servings of strawberry ice cream can Jennifer make? Express your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

²²⁵/₂  servings or 112 ¹/₂ servings

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that Jennifer will serve ²/₃ of a pound of ice cream per serving, then the maximum amount of servings that she can make = total pounds of ice cream / individual serving of ice cream

= 75 pounds / (²/₃ pound)

= (75 pounds x 3) / 2 pounds

= ²²⁵/₂  servings or 112 ¹/₂ servings
