Question

Mr. Wright gives each member of his cooking class (3)/(16) pound of flour, which empties the container. How many people are in Mr. Wright's class? (A) 3 B

Answer 1

There are 18 students in his class.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each student needs 3/16 pound of flour then you'd have to use these steps:

3 3/8 pounds of flour / 3/16 - 27/8 / 3/16 = 27/8 * 16/3 = 18 students.
