Answer: 176 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Bread at the orphanage was short in supply and this led to each loaveof bread being shared among 16 children.

During evening meal, the cook set out 11 loaves of bread. To get the number of children that can share the loaves of bread, we multiply the children that can share a loaves of bread which is 16 by the total number of bread which is 11.

Number of loaves of bread = 11

Number of children that shares a loaves of bread = 16

The number of children that can share the loaves of bread will be:

= 16 * 11

= 176 children
