Answer:
132 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr Smith offers to take extra help session for students after school
The day after the help session 11 of his students were talking and found out that only 2 had stayed up for the help session
= 2/11
There were actually a total number of 24 students that stayed
We are asked to find the number of student that Mr Smith teaches throughout the day
Let x represent the number of students that were taught during the day
Therefore, the number of student that Mr Smith teaches during the day can be calculated as follows
2/11=24/x
Cross multiply both sides
2 × x = 24 × 11
2x= 264
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2=264/2
x= 132
Hence Mr Smith teaches 132 students during the day.
