Answer :
Final answer:
Kent served a total of 27 scoops of ice cream to the three families in all.
Explanation:
In this question, three families of three each ordered three scoops of ice cream. So, the first family ordered 3 x 3 = 9 scoops of ice cream. The second family also ordered 3 x 3 = 9 scoops of ice cream.
And the third family also ordered 3 x 3 = 9 scoops of ice cream. Adding up the scoops served to each family, Kent served a total of 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 scoops of ice cream to the three families in all.
