Answer 1

First let's put it into decimals. 19.5 pints of ice cream, everyone gets .75 pints.

19.5 divided by .75 is 26 with no remainder

She can serve 26 guests and will not have any leftover.

Answer 2

Divide 19.5 by .75
This equals 26
26 guests can be served ice cream
There will not be any ice cream left over.
