Respuesta :

Katrina has 4 servings

Solution:

Katrina had 2/3 of a gallon of ice cream

She uses 1/6 gallon as a serving

Therefore,

[tex]Total\ gallon\ of\ icecream = \frac{2}{3}\\\\Gallon\ for\ 1\ serving= \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

To find: Number of servings can be made

[tex]Number\ of\ servings = \frac{\text{total gallon of icecream}}{\text{ galon for 1 serving}}[/tex]

Substituting the values we get,

[tex]Number\ of\ servings = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\\\Number\ of\ servings = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{6}{1}\\\\Number\ of\ servings = 4[/tex]

Thus Katrina has 4 servings
