[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pints of ice cream are used for each sundae.
To determine how many pints of ice cream are used for each sundae = 4 pints of ice cream divided by 6 sundaes.
Let x represent that pints of ice cream used for each sundae
Therefore, we have:
X = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
X = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pints
Thus, [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pints of ice cream are used for each sundae
6 sundaes = 4 pints of ice cream
1 sundaes = X pints of ice cream (unknown)
If we cross multiply, we have:
(6 x X) = (4 x 1)
6x = 4 (divide both side by 6)
[tex]\frac{6x}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] (4 cross out 6)
X = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
X = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
The question above was solved using the rule of BODMAS. We used multiplication and division.
