Jeff also creates different flavors of ice cream. He has to do inventory on his different types of ice
cream flavors. Jeff keeps all his ice cream flavors in half-gallon containers. Jeff completes the
inventory of the ice cream flavors by writing how many half-gallon containers of each flavor he has on
hand. The information from Jeff’s inventory for each ice cream flavor is listed below. Use this
information and do the following:
1. Give an estimate for how many gallons of each flavor of ice cream Jeff has after taking
inventory. Explain how you determined your estimate.
2. Use fraction squares to model the situation. Let the one whole fraction square be a
representation for 1 gallon.
3. Draw a diagram of the problem and label all parts.
4. Write a multiplication number sentence to show the relationships among the numbers in the
problem and how many gallons of each ice cream flavor Jeff has in his inventory. Relate the
number sentence to the diagram.
5. Review your estimate and the solution.
