Carly purchased 9 1/2 of ice cream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 3/5 pint of ice cream, what is the greatest number of guests that Carly can serve?

15 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 1/2 = 9 5/10 or 95/10.

3/5 = 6/10.

95 / 6 = 15

So it would be 15 guest maximum.

15 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement says that Carly has 9 1/2 of ice cream and each guest will be served 3/5 pint of ice cream, to determine the number of guests that she can serve, you have to divide 9 1/2 by 3/5:

9 1/2:3/5

19/2:3/5

=95/6 = 15

According to this, the greatest number of guests that Carly can serve is 15 guests.
