Answer 2

The answer is 168.

Given: Amount of milk given to each student = $\frac{11}{6}$ liters

          The total amount of milk consumed by all students was 308 liters

To Find: number of students in the hostel

Solution:

∴ Number of students = $\frac{Total Amount}{Individual Amount}$

                                     = $\frac{308}{\frac{11}{6} }$

                                     = $\frac{308 \times 6}{11}$

                                     = 28 × 6

                                     = 168

Answer) The total number of students in the hostel is 168.

Note

• Since the question is about the number of students, we know that a whole number will be the answer.

• In this type of sum, we need to divide the entire amount by the individual amount consumed.
