8 bowls

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, we have 2/3 of a gallon of ice cream. Essentially, we want to divide this 2/3 gallons into b bowls such that each bowl has 1/12 of a gallon.

We can write this as the mathematical equation:

2/3 : b = 1/12

Multiply both sides by b:

2/3 = (1/12) * b

Divide both sides by 1/12:

(2/3) : (1/12) = b

Remember that when dividing fractions, it's the same as multiplying by the reciprocal, so:

(2/3) : (1/12) = b

(2/3) * (12/1) = b

b = 8

Thus, the answer is 8 bowls.

8 bowls

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = 8/12

8/12 : 1/12 = 8

This should be right. Sorry if it isn't.
