Answer:

22 people

Explanation:

The question is to find how many people got the candy

Total candy = 2 3/4

Each person get = 1/8

Number of persons who gets the candy = 2 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 11/4 × 8/1

= 88/4

= 22

Number of persons who gets the candy = 22 people

22 people each got 1/8 of 2 3/4 candy
