Answer: 24 students are in the club.


Step-by-step explanation: Total number of ordered cases = 16 cases.

Each student in the club takes = 2/3 of a case.

In order to find the number of students for 16 cases, we need to divide 16 2/3rd each.

Therefore,

16 ÷ 2/3

Converting division sign into multiplication and flipping second fraction, we get

16 × 3/2 = 48/2 = 24.

Therefore, 24 students are in the club.
