Given:

A bowl can hold 1/4 pint of ice cream.

Alyssa eats 1 1/3 pints of ice cream.

To find:

The number of bowls of ice cream she ate.

Explanation:

According to the question,

The required number of bowls is calculated by,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{Amount\text{ of ice cream she ate}}{Amount\text{ of ice cream in each bowl}}=\frac{1\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}} \\ =\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}} \\ =\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{4}{1} \\ =\frac{16}{3} \\ =5\frac{1}{3}bowls \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of bowls of ice cream she ate is 5 bowls and one-third part of a bowl.
