Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

                  Total quantity of rice = 250 kg

Rice consumed by one student =  $\frac{5}{2}$ kg

                                                      = 2.5 kg per student

∴,                   the no. of students = 250 ÷ 2.5

                                                      = 100 students
