Question

Plz explain properly, I have this on my MATH FINAL TMR

A kindergarten teacher has 22 1/2 cups of juice to be divided equally among her students. If each student is to receive 1 1/4 cups of juice, how many students are there?

Answer 1

You are to calculate the # of students, based upon the starting volume of juice and the amount each student receives.

22 1/2 cups
This # of students is equal to ------------------------------
[1 1/4 cup / student ]

and this could be found easily by dividing 22.5 by 1.25: 18. There are 18 students.
