A teacher has 16 boxes of sweets.

Each box contains 25 sweets.
The teacher shares as many sweets as possible equally among 23 pupils
i) How many sweets does each pupil receive?
ii) How many sweets are left over ?

students receive 17 sweets each and the left over is 9/23

To find the answers to the questions, we first need to calculate the total number of sweets the teacher has and then divide it equally among the 23 pupils.

i) To find out how many sweets each pupil receives, we divide the total number of sweets by the number of pupils:
Total number of sweets = number of boxes * number of sweets per box = 16 * 25 = 400
Number of sweets each pupil receives = Total number of sweets / number of pupils = 400 / 23 ≈ 17.39

Therefore, each pupil receives approximately 17.39 sweets.

ii) To find out how many sweets are left over, we need to determine the remainder after dividing the total number of sweets by the number of pupils:
Number of sweets left over = Total number of sweets % number of pupils = 400 % 23 = 1

Therefore, there is 1 sweet left over.
