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
