Answer:
There are \(18\) students
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is a word problem which bothers on the fractions and mixed fraction
We can solve this problem by first converting all mixed fraction to proper fraction
converting \(22\frac{1}{2} cups\) to proper fraction we have \(\frac{25}{2}\)
converting \(1\frac{1}{4} cups\) to proper fraction we have \(\frac{5}{4}\)
Given data
number of cups = \(\frac{45}{2} cups\)
number of cups to be received per student = \(\frac{5}{4} cups\)
To calculate the number of students we have to divide the number of cups by the number of cups received per student we have
\(= \frac{\frac{45}{2} }{\frac{5}{4} } \\= \frac{45}{2} *\frac{4}{5} = 9*2\\\\= 18\)
