Hello , okay sooooo ...
You first divide the total quarts of ice cream made by the** total hours** it was made in
**310 ÷ 5 **
The answer you get tells you how much ice cream can be made in 1 hour
310 ÷ 5 = 62
It is now proven that 62 quarts of ice cream can be made in **1 hour **
To find out how much ice cream can be made in **48 **hours you multiple **62 and 48 **
The product will give you the answer to this problem
2976 quarts of ice cream can be made in **48 **hours

The first step is seeing how many times 5 can go in 48. 5 can go in 48 9 times. Then you multiply 310 by 9 which equals 2790. Then you divide 310 by 5 which equals 62. Then you add 62 , three times, to 2790. The final answer is 2979 quarts.

The ice cream factory produces 62 quarts of ice cream per hour. In 48 hours, it can produce 2976 quarts. This calculation helps determine production efficiency over a longer time period.
