Each student gets 5 sheets of paper

First what you do is you divide 24 by 4 which equals 7
then you divide 35 by 7 which is 5.
Hope this helps

Answer: The number of sheets of paper every student will get is 5

Explanation:

We are given:

Total number of students = 28

Number of groups = 4

Number of sheets of paper given to each group = 35

Total number of sheets of paper =
(35* 4)=140

To calculate the number of sheets of paper that every student got, we use the equation:


\text{Number of sheets of paper every student got}=\frac{\text{Total number of sheets}}{\text{Total number of students}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Number of sheets of paper every student got}=(140)/(28)=5

Hence, the number of sheets of paper every student will get is 5
