[tex]\text{1}\frac{7}{9}\text{ cups}[/tex]EXPLANATION
Nick has 4 quarts of ice and he wants to split it with 9 members of the team.
To solve this, we have to convert quarts to cups. We have that:
1 quart = 2 pints
and
1 pint = 2 cups
This means that:
1 quart = 2 * 2 cups
1 quart = 4 cups
So, 4 quarts will be:
4 quarts = 4 * 4 cups
4 quarts = 16 cups
Therefore, dividing the ice cream among 9 people would mean that we have to divide 16 cups by 9 people.
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{16}{9} \\ =\text{ 1}\frac{7}{9}\text{ cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]The complete statement is:
1 quart equals 2 pints, which equals 4 cups, so 4 quarts equals 16 cups. Dividing the ice cream among 9 people means each gets 1 7/9 cup(s)
