Answer:

The number divided by was <span>32/45</span>

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Then <span>3 <span>1/5</span>÷x=4 <span>1/2</span></span>

Write as

<span> <span>16/5</span>÷x=<span>9/2</span></span>

Suppose we had the common denominator of 10 then we would have:

<span> <span>32/10</span>÷x=<span>45/10</span></span>

Get rid of the 10: multiply through out by 10 giving:

<span> 32÷x=45</span>

<span>⇒<span>32x</span>=45</span>

<span>⇒x=<span>32/<span>45</span></span></span>

Answer: 5 benches and 23 students

Step-by-step explanation:

I will answer in English.

We have E students and B benches.

If we sit 4 students per bench, we have 3 students left.

then:

E = 4*B + 3

And if we sit 5 students per bench, there are two places with no students sited.

E = 5*B - 2

now we can replace the E in the second equation with the right part in the first equation:

4*B + 3 = 5*B - 2

3 + 2  = 5*B - 4*B

5 = B

So we have 5 benches, and:

E = 4*5 + 3 = 23 students.
