a guidance counselor has 2 3/4 hours to meet with students. if she meets with each student for 1/6 hour,how many students can she see?

Answer 1

2 3/4 ÷ 1/6
= (11/4)(6/1)
= ..

wonder what that 1/2 students looks like, was expecting a whole number answer. Do you have a typo ?

or

2 3/4 hours = 165 minutes
each student needs 1/6 hr or 10 minute
165/10 = 16 1/2 students, same silly result

Answer 2

I guess there was a five minute coffee break.
