teacher divided students into groups of 3. each group of 3 wrote a report the had 9 pictures in it. the students used 585 pictures all together. how many students were there in all?
Divide:
585/9 = 65 groups
65 * 3 = ______ students
195
Name the top view, front view, side view of a cone
To find the number of students in total, we need to determine the number of groups first.
Since each group has 3 students and there were 9 pictures in each report, we can divide the total number of pictures used (585) by the number of pictures per report (9) to find the total number of reports. This can be calculated as:
Total Number of Reports = Total Number of Pictures / Number of Pictures per Report
Total Number of Reports = 585 / 9 = 65
Now, since each group consists of 3 students, we can divide the total number of reports by 3 to find the total number of groups:
Total Number of Groups = Total Number of Reports / Number of Students per Group
Total Number of Groups = 65 / 3 = 21.6667
Since we cannot have a fraction of a group, we need to round this number up to the nearest whole number. This means there were 22 groups in total.
Finally, to find the total number of students, multiply the number of groups by the number of students per group:
Total Number of Students = Total Number of Groups * Number of Students per Group
Total Number of Students = 22 * 3 = 66
Therefore, there were a total of 66 students.
