Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

There are 150 students in Hannah's school.

Sum of books donated by the students =b.

Average books donated by each student =$\frac{b}{150}$

It is given Hannah donated 3 times as many books each student donated.

Number of books donated by Hannah= $3 times \frac{b}{150} = \frac{b}{50}$

The expression of the number of books donated by Hannah= $\frac{b}{50}$

Answer 2

b/50 because b/150 times 3 is b/50
