1 quart equals \\(\square\\) pints, which equals \\(\square\\) cups, so 4 quarts equals \\(\square\\) cups. dividing the ice cream among \\(\square\\) people means each gets \\(\square\\) cup(s).
(type integers, fractions, or mixed numbers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert quart to pints and cups

We know that \(1\) quart \( = 2\) pints and \(1\) quart \(=4\) cups.

Step2: Calculate cups for 4 quarts

Since \(1\) quart \( = 4\) cups, then for \(4\) quarts, we use the formula \(C=4\times q\) (where \(C\) is the number of cups and \(q\) is the number of quarts). So \(C = 4\times4=16\) cups.

Step3: Divide total cups by number of people

We have \(n = 9\) people and \(C = 16\) cups. Using the formula \(c=\frac{C}{n}\), we get \(c=\frac{16}{9}=1\frac{7}{9}\) cups per person.

Answer:

1 quart equals \(2\) pints, which equals \(4\) cups. So \(4\) quarts equals \(16\) cups. Dividing the ice - cream among \(9\) people means each gets \(1\frac{7}{9}\) cup(s).
