Joey has a 2/3 of gallon of ice cream. He divides the ice cream for his friends so that 1/9 of a gallon is in each bowl. How many bowls will he use
A. 6
B. 1/6
C. 27
D. 2/27
To find the number of bowls that Joey will use, we need to divide the amount of ice cream he has by the amount in each bowl.
To find the number of bowls, we divide 2/3 gallon by 1/9 gallon:
(2/3) รท (1/9)
We can simplify this by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
(2/3) * (9/1)
Now we can multiply across the numerators and denominators:
(2 * 9) / (3 * 1)
This simplifies to:
18 / 3
Which equals:
6
So Joey will use 6 bowls. Answer: \boxed{\text{(A) }6}.
