Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

Solution:

Given that, A container has 12 and
(3)/(4) cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates
(7)/(8) of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade =
12(3)/(4)


\rightarrow 12(3)/(4) = (4 * 12 + 3)/(4) = (51)/(4)

cups of lemonade received by each classmate =
(7)/(8)

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate


\rightarrow ((51)/(4))/((7)/(8))=(51)/(4) * (8)/(7)


\rightarrow 14.57

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students
