Answer 1

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.
