An agency supplies bread and jams to three places -a hospital, a bank and a school. Bread comes in a bunch of 8 pieces and Jam comes in a pack of 6 pieces. On a particular day, agency has supplied x packets of bread and y packets of jam to the school. On the same day, agency has supplied 3x packets of bread along with sufficient packets of jam to hospital. It is known that the number of students in the school are between 500 and 550.

1. There is not enough information to determine the exact number of students in the school, as the range given is between 500 and 550.
2. If each student gets only one piece of bread from the packet, then the number of packets of bread delivered in school would be 8x.
3. The number of packets of jam distributed in school would be 6y.
4. The number of packets of bread distributed in the hospital would be 24x, since 3x bunches of bread are supplied and each bunch has 8 pieces.
1. To find the number of students in the school, we need to look at the given information that the number of students is between 500 and 550. Since there is no specific value given for x, we cannot determine the exact number of students. However, we can calculate the possible range of the number of students based on the supplied bread to the school.
Since each packet of bread contains 8 pieces, the total number of bread pieces supplied to the school would be 8x. We know that the number of students is between 500 and 550. Therefore, we can set up the inequality:
8x ≤ 550
Solving for x:
x ≤ 550/8
x ≤ 68.75
Since x can only be a whole number (as it represents the number of bread packets supplied), the possible values for x would be 68 or less.
Therefore, the number of students in the school cannot be determined exactly, but it must be less than or equal to 68.
Answer: The number of students in the school is <= 68.
2. If each student gets only one piece of bread from the packet, then the number of packets required to supply bread for the students would be equal to the number of students.
Answer: The number of packets of bread delivered in school would be <= 68 packets.
3. The number of packets of jam distributed in the school is not provided in the given information, so it cannot be determined.
Answer: The number of packets of jam distributed in the school cannot be determined.
4. The number of packets of bread distributed in the hospital is given as 3x.
Answer: The number of packets of bread distributed in the hospital would be 3x packets.
