A student needs Rs. 1 3/8 for his lunch. How many students can take lunch from Rs. 13 3/4?

Explanation

Cost per student: 1 3/8 = 11/8

Total amount: 13 3/4 = 55/4

Now, divide the total amount by the cost per student:

Number of students = Total amount ÷ Cost per student

= (55/4) ÷ (11/8)

= (55/4) × (8/11)

= 55 × 2 / 11

= 110 / 11

= 10
