Answer:

6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 = 9/4 = 18/8

She gave 3/8 of a bag to each of the people => she gave 18/8 : 3/8 = 6 people

So, there are 6 people that live on Janet's block (maybe 7 if count Janet herself)

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25 divided by 3/8 (0.375)

To double check multiply 3/8 by 6 and you'll get 2.25 (2 1/4).
