Jack won 65 lollipops playing basketball at the county fair at school. He gave four to every student in his math class. He only has one remaining how many students are in his class
To find the number of students in Jack's math class, we need to divide the total number of lollipops he won by the number of lollipops he gave to each student, and then subtract the remaining lollipop.
65 lollipops - 1 remaining lollipop = <<65-1=64>>64 lollipops given to students in his math class
We know that he gave four lollipops to each student, so we divide the total number of lollipops given by 4:
64 lollipops / 4 lollipops per student = <<64/4=16>>16 students
Therefore, Jack's math class has 16 students.
To find out how many students are in Jack's math class, we can divide the number of lollipops he won by the number of lollipops he gave to each student.
Jack won 65 lollipops and gave four to each student, so we can calculate:
65 lollipops ÷ 4 lollipops per student = 16.25 students
Since we can't have a fraction of a student, we need to round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, Jack's math class has 16 students.
To find the number of students in Jack's math class, we can set up an equation using the information given.
Let's assume the number of students in his math class is represented by "x".
Jack gave four lollipops to each student, and he has one remaining. Therefore, the total number of lollipops Jack gave away can be calculated by multiplying the number of students (x) by four, and adding one:
4x + 1 = 65
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x by subtracting one from both sides:
4x = 64
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
x = 64 / 4
Simplifying this expression, we find:
x = 16
Thus, there are 16 students in Jack's math class.
