Answer 2

Answer:

There are sixty students in hostel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total milk is $24l$

It is distributed equally among all the students of a hostel.

Share of each student is $1/5l$

Let number of students be $x$

This is a question of fraction.

• A fraction is defined as a part of the whole number.
• The multiplication of a number with its reciprocal is equal to unity.
• The reciprocal of a number $x$ is given as $1/x$.

We need to determine the number of students in the hostel.

As per the given information and requirement of the question, we will divide total milk and each student's share

$x=\frac{24}{\frac{2}{5} }$

$x=60$

There are sixty students.
