    288 students can be served

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Looking at the donation made by the ice cream parlor, we want to know the number of students to be served.

    We need to achieve a consistency in units first. What I mean by this is that all our units must be the same.

    The parlor donated 6 containers with each container holding 3 gallons. The amount donated is thus 3 * 6 = 18 gallons of ice cream

    Mathematically, there are 16 cups in a gallon. Thus, the amount of cups donated by the parlor would be 16 * 18 = 288 cups

    Now since 1 student takes 1 cup of ice cream, the number of students that the donation can serve is 288/1 = 288 students
