Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number of students in Jack's math class, we need to divide the total number of lollipops he won by 4 (since he gave 4 to each student).

65 / 4 = 16.25

Since we cannot have a fraction of a student, we can conclude that there are 16 students in his math class. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the number of students in Jack's math class, we can divide the number of lollipops he gave away by 4.

65 lollipops / 4 lollipops per student = 16.25 students

Since we can't have a fraction of a student, we round up to the nearest whole number.

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

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the number of students in Jack's math class, we need to determine how many lollipops he gave away to his classmates minus the lollipop he has remaining.

As per the information given, Jack won 65 lollipops and gave away four to every student in his math class. So, we can use the equation:

65 - 1 = (number of students × 4)

Simplifying the equation, we have:

64 = (number of students × 4)

To find the number of students, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

64 ÷ 4 = number of students

Thus, the number of students in Jack's math class is 16.

Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
