Bob has some candy bars that he wants yo give away. He is going to give each person 1/8 of a bar, and he has 2 3/4 bars to give away. How Many people get candy?

Answer :

Answer:

He can give candy to 12 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that , each person gets [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of a bar.

It is also said that, [tex](2)(\frac{3}{4}) = \frac{3}{2}[/tex] of a bar is there.

Let the number of people be "n".

Thus the equation is,

[tex](\frac{1}{8})(n) = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = (\frac{3}{2})(\frac{8}{1}) = 12[/tex]

Thus the total number of people are 12.
