a. How many guests can be served ice cream?

b. Will there be any ice cream left? Justify your answer.

Answer: a) 26 guests

b) No, there will be no ice cream left because the result of the division is a exact number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Serve of pint per guest: 3/4

a. How many guests can be served ice cream?

To find out how many guests can be served all we have to do is divide the amount purchased by the amount served per guest:

39/2 : 3/4 = 39/2 * 4/3 = 26 guests

No, there will be no ice cream left because the result of the division is a exact number.
