Question

In a hostel's mess student gets ⅓ litre of milk everyday. If the total consumption of the milk is 57⅔ litres per day, how many students are there in the hostel?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of Students = 173

Step-by-step explanation:

Milk Consumption daily by each student = 1/3  Litre

Total milk consumption in a day for all students = 57 ( 2 / 3) = 173/3 Litres

Number of Students = Total Milk consumption daily / Milk consumption by a student in a day

Hence, Number of Students = (173/3) / (1/3)

Hence, Number of Students = 173
