Question

Mrs. Akiba bought 3 large bags of veggie sticks for her students. Each bag contains 125 veggie sticks. One sixth of Mrs Akib's students did not eat any veggie sticks. The remaining students split the veggie sticks evenly and ate them. How many veggie sticks did each of the remaining students eat ?

Answer 1

There are 3·125 = 375 veggie sticks total.

 

Of the total number of veggie sticks, 1/6 were not eaten. This left 5/6 remaining. 5/6 of 375 is 312.5.

 

You never gave the number of students Mrs. Akiba had so the problem cannot be finished without more information.
