Answer 2

Answer:

Find out the how many people will get candy .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of the people will get candy be x.

As given

Sean has some candy bars that he wants to give away.

he is going to give each person $\frac{1}{8}$ of a bar,

$Sean\ has\ 2\frac{3}{4}\ bars\ to\ give\ away.$

i.e

$Sean\ has\ \frac{11}{4}\ bars\ to\ give\ away.$

Than

$\frac{1\times x}{8} =\frac{11}{4}$

$x = \frac{11\times 8}{4}$

$x = 11\times 2$

x = 22

Therefore the total number of people will get candy are 22.
