1. **State the problem:** The Pep Club made 168 pints of ice cream. Each container sold contains $\frac{3}{4}$ pint. We need to find how many containers they sold and how much money they made if each container sold for 0.40. 2. **Find the number of containers sold:** We divide the total pints by the amount per container: $$\text{Number of containers} = \frac{168}{\frac{3}{4}}$$ 3. **Simplify the division:** $$\frac{168}{\frac{3}{4}} = 168 \times \frac{4}{3}$$ 4. **Calculate:** $$168 \times \frac{4}{3} = \cancel{168} \times \frac{4}{\cancel{3}} = 56 \times 4 = 224$$ So, they sold 224 containers. 5. **Calculate total money made:** Each container sold for 0.40, so: $$\text{Total money} = 224 \times 0.40 = 89.60$$ **Final answer:** They made 224 containers and earned 89.60.
