I didn't explain this well enough. I have 72 cupcakes that I have to break up and give to each student an equall amount. with none left over. The answer is going to have to be something like 1 1/4 or 2 1/3 for each student. can you figure it out??

you are all wrong. the correct answer is each student would receive 2 2/17 cupcakes. to prove that my answer is right you take the amount of students in the class and multiply it by 2 2/17. the answer is the amount of cupcakes i have, 72.

72 / 34 = 2 4/34 = 2 2/17

This is straight math; where are you having a problem?
Let's knock down the problem a bit: if there are 3 kids in the family and 12 cupcakes, how many cupcakes does each child get? How did you sovle that, mathematically? Now, just use the same process with the bigger numbers. By the way, I suspect it's 24 kids in the class, not 34.

Assuming you can only give them WHOLE cupcakes, each student would get 2. You would have 4 cupcakes left over.

There will not be an even amount. 72/34 is 2.11. So, if you want each kid to have 2 each, only make 68. If you want them to have 3 each, make 102.

They all get 2 each and there is 4 left over.

None. Give them all to the teachers.
