Question

There are 13 guests at Morgan's party. If each guest will be served exactly \tfrac{4}{5} 5 4 ​ pint of ice cream, how many pints of ice cream will she need? Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Multiply number pf people by amount they are having:

13 people x 4/5 pint = (13 x 4)/5 = 52/5 = 10 2/5 pints.

They need 10 2/5 pints total. ( Simplest form)

Since you can't buy a fraction of a pint, they would actually need to buy 11 pints
