Question

Each student in a hostel is given 1
5/6 in a day. Every day a total
of 308 litres of milk is consumed. Find the number of students in the hostel.
Answer without using x (algebra)​

Answer 1

Answer: 168

Step-by-step explanation:

I know that each student is given 1 and 5/6 litres in a day. I can convert this to 11/6. Next, I can make 308 have the same denominator as 11/6 by multiplying it by 6. This will give me 1848/6. Now, I can divide 1848 by 11, which will get us 168. Thus, I know that there are 168 students.

Hope this helps!
