To find the number of ribbons each student will have, we need to divide the total number of ribbons by the total number of students.
First, we need to determine the total number of ribbons. The teacher has 15 gold ribbons, 22 blue ribbons, and 53 red ribbons. So the total number of ribbons is 15 + 22 + 53 = 90 ribbons.
Next, we need to calculate the total number of students. There are 12 boys and 18 girls, so the total number of students is 12 + 18 = 30 students.
Now, we can write an expression using brackets to represent the division of ribbons among the students:
(90 ribbons) / (30 students)
To solve this expression, we divide the total number of ribbons (90) by the total number of students (30):
90 / 30 = 3
Therefore, each student will have 3 ribbons.
