Final answer:
To find out how many slices of fruit each student gets in a class of 24, we divide the total number of slices by the number of students. Each student will receive approximately 3.5 slices.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many pieces of fruit each student gets, we need to divide the total number of apple slices and orange slices by the number of students.
First, we add up the number of apple slices and orange slices. 48 apple slices + 36 orange slices = 84 slices in total.
Then, we divide the total number of slices by the number of students. 84 slices ÷ 24 students = 3.5 slices per student.
