Answer:

612 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set up this situation into a proportion.

  • [tex]\frac{170}{10} = \frac{x}{36}[/tex]

Now, let's simplify the proportion.

  • [tex]\frac{170/10}{10/10} = \frac{x}{36}[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{17}{1} = \frac{x}{36}[/tex]

As you can see, we have to multiple one by thirty-six to get to thirty-six. Whatever we do the denominators, we have to do to the numerators. Thus, 17 multiplied by 36 is 612 quarts.

Answer:

612 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

If 170 quarts of ice cream is made in 10 hours. Then, in 1 hour (170/10) = 17 quarts of ice cream are made.

Therefore, in 36 hours (17×36) = 612 quarts of ice cream are made
