One fourth of the sum of a number and two is three.

The number is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25 × (y × 2) = 3

0.25 × 2y = 3

0.5y = 3

0.5y ÷ 0.5 = 3 ÷ 0.5

y = 6

Check:

0.25 × (y × 2) = 3

0.25 × (6 × 2) = 3

0.25 × 12 = 3

3 = 3

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

12
