The art club at a school organized a contest between homeroom classes. Each student in the winning class will receive the same amount of candy.
There are exactly 19 students in the winning class.
The art club has 1,068 pieces of candy.
What is the maximum number of pieces of candy each student can receive?

56 pieces of candies at maximum.

Step-by-step explanation: What you want to do is just divide both numbers, giving you 56.2105263158. The decimals will give you the wrong answers, so taking them out, would be the best, and also the decimals aren't divisible to the 19 kids. When you take the decimals out, you should get 56. To prove my point, doing 56 x 19 = 1064 candies, and the 4 other is not able to be split to 19 kids. So there 56 is your answer!

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
