Stephen Vargas · Answer 1

24 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started with 32 cups of juice.

Kahled drunk 2 cups so (32-2) = 30 cups is left.

If x represents the number of students he receive juice and each student gets the same amount of juice which is 1.25 cups, then we have the equation

1.25x=30 to solve for x.

Divide both sides by 1.25:

x=30/1.25

x=24

24 students receive juice
