Complete question :

Carly purchased 9 1/2 pints of ice cream for a party. If each guest will be served exactly 3/5 pint of ice cream, what is the greatest number of gusts that Carly can serve

Answer:

15 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total pints of icecream = 9 1/2

Fraction of ice cream pints per guest = 3/5 pints

Number of guest that can be served :

Total pints / fraction per guest

9 1/2 ÷ 3/5

19/2 * 5/3

95 / 6

= 15.8 guest

Hence, greatest Number of guest that can be served = 15
