Answer 2

There are
`18` students

Explanation:

This problem is a word problem which bothers on the fractions and mixed fraction

We can solve this problem by first converting all mixed fraction to proper fraction

converting
`22(1)/(2) cups` to proper fraction we have
`(25)/(2)`

converting
`1(1)/(4) cups` to proper fraction we have
`(5)/(4)`

Given data

number of cups =
`(45)/(2) cups`

number of cups to be received per student =
`(5)/(4) cups`

To calculate the number of students we have to divide the number of cups by the number of cups received per student we have

`= ((45)/(2) )/((5)/(4) ) \\= (45)/(2) *(4)/(5) = 9*2\\\\= 18`
