Free notebooks were distributed equally among children of a class. The number of notebooks each child got was one-eighth of the number of children. Had the number of children been half, each child would have got 16 notebooks. Total how many notebooks were distributed ?

Let total number of children be x.
| Then, x x | 1 | x = | x | x 16  x = 64. |
| 8 | 2 |
 Number of notebooks = |
1 | x2 = |  |
1 | x 64 x 64 |  |
= 512. |
| 8 | 8 |
