If Mr hernandez has 5 times as many students as Mr daniels and together they have 150 students how many students do each have?
Let h = Mr. Hernandez's students and d = Mr. Daniels students.
We are given two equations:
(1) h = 5d
(2) d + h = 150
Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)
d + (5d) = 150
Combine like terms:
6d = 150
Divide each side of the equation by 6 to isolate d
d = 25 <-- Mr. Daniels Students
Now, plug the value for d into equation (1)
h = 5(25)
h = 125 <-- Mr. Hernandez students
