(type integers, fractions, or mixed numbers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total cups of ice - cream

Since 1 quart equals 4 cups, and there are 4 quarts.
The total number of cups of ice - cream is \(4\times4 = 16\) cups.

Step2: Divide the total cups by the number of people

There are 9 people. We use the division operation \(16\div9=\frac{16}{9}\)
We can rewrite \(\frac{16}{9}\) as a mixed number. \(16 = 9\times1+7\), so \(\frac{16}{9}=1\frac{7}{9}\)

Answer:

Each person gets \(1\frac{7}{9}\) cups.
