Question

Jack won 65 lollipops playing basketball. At school he gave four to every student in his math class He only had 1 left how many students are in his class

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of students in Jack's math class as \( x \).

Jack started with 65 lollipops and gave 4 lollipops to each student, which totals to \( 4x \) lollipops. After giving away the lollipops, he had 1 left.

So we can set up the equation:

\[
65 - 4x = 1
\]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract 1 from both sides:

\[
65 - 1 = 4x
\]
\[
64 = 4x
\]

2. Divide both sides by 4:

\[
x = \frac{64}{4}
\]
\[
x = 16
\]

Thus, there are **16 students** in Jack's math class.
