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
