Explanation:

Step1: Know the alcohol - content in a quart of beer

A standard quart is 32 fluid - ounces. A standard serving of beer is 12 fluid - ounces and contains about 5% alcohol by volume.

Step2: Calculate the number of 12 - ounce servings in a quart

We use the formula $n=\frac{V_{total}}{V_{serving}}$, where $V_{total} = 32$ ounces and $V_{serving}=12$ ounces. So $n=\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}\approx2.67$ servings.

Answer:

Approximately 2.67 servings
