How many times larger the area of brazil is than the area of japan if recent statistics have reported that the total area of brazil is about 3 * 10^6 square miles, while the total area of japan is about 2 * 10^5 square miles?

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.
