# of students = x
# of groups = x/3

The teachers divided the students into groups of three. Each group of three wrote a report that had nine pictures in it. The students used 558 pictures altogether. How many students were there all together ?
558/9=62 groups of three
62*3=186
or
3*558/9=558/3=186
There were 186 students. There were 558 pictures used by 62 groups of three
