Question

Don bought `3 1/2` quarts of ice-cream for a party. Four pints were eaten. How many pints remained?

Answer 1

There are 3 pints remaining.

Explanation:

We use conversion of units to solve this problem
1 quart = 2 pints
So, `3 1/2` quarts = 7 pints
Now, we subtract: 7 pints - 4 pints = 3 pints.
There are 3 pints remaining.
