Jake won 65 lollipops playing basketball at the court Fair at school he gave four lollipops 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 Jake's math class, you need to subtract the remaining lollipop from the total number he won and divide it by the number of lollipops given to each student.
Total lollipops given to students = Total lollipops won - Remaining lollipop
Total lollipops given to students = 65 - 1 = 64
Number of students in the class = Total lollipops given to students ÷ Lollipops given to each student
Number of students in the class = 64 ÷ 4 = <<64/4=16>>16
Therefore, there are 16 students in Jake's math class.
To find the number of students in Jake's class, we can subtract the remaining lollipop from the total number of lollipops he had and then divide by the number of lollipops each student received.
Total lollipops Jake won = 65
Lollipops given to each student = 4
Remaining lollipops = 1
Remaining lollipops = Total lollipops - (Number of students × Lollipops per student)
1 = 65 - (Number of students × 4)
Rearranging the equation:
Number of students × 4 = 65 - 1
Number of students × 4 = 64
Dividing both sides by 4:
Number of students = 64 ÷ 4
Number of students = 16
Therefore, there are 16 students in Jake's class.
To find out how many students are in Jake's math class, we can use the information provided.
Let's start by finding out how many lollipops he gave to his classmates. We know that Jake won 65 lollipops playing basketball, and he gave four lollipops to each student in his math class. So, to determine the number of lollipops he gave away, we divide the total number of lollipops by four:
65 lollipops / 4 lollipops per student = 16.25 students
Since you can't have a fraction of a student, we need to round down to the nearest whole number, as it's unlikely that there would be a fraction of a student in a class. Therefore, Jake gave away lollipops to 16 students.
However, we also know that Jake has one lollipop remaining. So we add one to the number of students to account for the lollipop he kept:
16 students + 1 lollipop for Jake = 17 students in his math class
Therefore, there are 17 students in Jake's math class.
