1) Jessica won 55 pieces of gum playing the
bean bag toss at the county fair. At school
she gave two to every student in her math
class. She only has 3 remaining. How
many students are in her class?

Respuesta :

Answer:

26 students

Step-by-step explanation:

55 pieces given - 3 she keeps for herself=52

52÷2pieces each = 26
First, I subtracted. 55 - 3 to get 52, as she should have three pieces of gum left over. Then, I divided 52 by 2, to get 26 students. To double check, I divided 52 by 26, which equals 2 pieces of gum per classmate.
So I believe the answer is: There are 26 students in Jessica’s math class.
