Solution

Step 1: Subtract the amount of candy Luca saved for himself from the total amount of candy he got.

4.75 pounds - 0.55 pounds = 4.2 pounds

Step 2: Divide the remaining amount of candy by the number of students in his class.

4.2 pounds ÷ 24 students = 0.175 pounds

So, Luca gave each of his classmates 0.175 pounds of candy.
