Each ice cream cone at Izzy's Ice Cream Parlor contains $\frac{1}{32}$ of a gallon of ice cream. If Izzy has $\frac{3}{4}$ of a gallon of ice cream left, how many more ice cream cones can she sell?
I need to find out how many times $\frac{1}{32}$ of a gallon fits into $\frac{3}{4}$ of a gallon, since that will tell me how many ice cream cones she can make. I can use division to find this ratio: $\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{32} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{32}{1}$, since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. Simplifying the fraction, I get $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{32}{1} = \frac{3 \times 32}{4 \times 1} = \frac{96}{4} = 24$. This means she can make 24 more ice cream cones with the amount of ice cream she has left.
