    7 persons

    Step-by-step explanations:

    If 4¾ pints of ice cream is available or the server and each person is expected to have a share of at least 2/3 pints.

    The maximum number of people that will be able to get at least the supposed 2/3 pints will be gotten by dividing the total amounts of pints of ice cream by the amount that each person is expected to receive.

    4¾ is the same as 19/4 or 4.75 and is divided by 2/3 or 0.6666666

    19/4 : 2/3

    = 7⅛

    But since ⅛ of a person doesn't exist, we have to discard it.

    So therefore, the maximum number of persons that got a share of the ice cream is 7 persons

    7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve this problem, we can use a rule of three.

    The total amount of pints of ice cream is 4 3/4 = 4.75, and each guest will be served 2/3 pint of ice cream.

    If one guest need 2/3 pint, X guests will need 4.75 pints:

    1 guest - > 2/3 pint

    X guests - > 4.75 pints

    1/X - 2/3 / 4.75

    X = 4.75 / 2/3 = 4.75 * 3 / 2 = 7.125

    So the greatest number of guests that can be served is 7.
