Answer:[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pints will be needed for [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pots of the soup.Step-by-step explanation:Required quantity for each pot of chicken noodle soup= [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pints of broth.So we have to calculate the amount of broth needed for [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pots of the soup.Total quantity required = Quantity used for one pot × number of pots                                       = [tex]\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]                                       = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pintsTherefore, [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pints will be needed for [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pots of the soup.
