1. The problem states that Dave is splitting 3 quarts of ice cream evenly among 9 team members. We need to find how many cups each person gets. 2. First, recall the unit conversions: 1 quart = 2 pints and 1 pint = 2 cups. Therefore, 1 quart = 2 \times 2 = 4 cups. 3. Calculate the total number of cups in 3 quarts: $$3 \text{ quarts} = 3 \times 4 = 12 \text{ cups}$$ 4. Now, divide the total cups by the number of people to find cups per person: $$\frac{12 \text{ cups}}{9 \text{ people}} = \frac{12}{9} = \frac{\cancel{3}4}{\cancel{3}3} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ cups per person}$$ 5. So, each person gets $\frac{4}{3}$ cups, which is the same as 1 \frac{1}{3} cups. 6. In summary: - 1 quart = 2 pints - 1 pint = 2 cups - 3 quarts = 12 cups - Dividing 12 cups by 9 people gives $\frac{4}{3}$ cups per person. Each team member receives $\frac{4}{3}$ cups of ice cream.
