The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.
He can only make 2!
Explanation: 7 can only go into 17 twice
Hope this helps!:)
Lets discern the infomation:
number_men = 165*0.6 = 99
so there are 99 men
non_fiction = 165 * 0.4 = 66
so 66 authors write non-fiction.
men writing non-fiction are 40, so 59 men write fiction, and 26 women write non-fiction.
probability of author non-fiction or man?
non-fiction: 40 men + 26 women = 66 total
man writers = 99
so in total 99 man + 26 women = 115 authors
hence the probability is:
115/165 = 69.6%
9$ for three cans then 9/3= 3 $ per can
