Answer 1

Answer: they have 68 servings of ice cream left for the party

Step-by-step explanation:

The Smiths purchased 6 containers of ice cream for a party. Each container holds 9 cups of ice cream. This means that the total number of cups of ice cream that they have is

6 × 9 = 54 cups

Before the party, their sons ate 3 cups of ice cream altogether. This means that the number of cups of ice cream that they have left is

54 - 3 = 51 cups

One serving is 3/4 cup of ice cream. This means that the number of serving that they have left is

51/0.75 = 68
