A pharmacist found at the end of the day she had 3/2 as many prescriptions for antibiotics as tranquilizers.

This means that:

She had 35 prescriptions altogether.

She had 14 prescriptions for tranquilizers.

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.
