Question

There are 376 students in 5th, 6th 7th and 8th grade at Carpenter

Middle School. There are 82 students in 5th grade. The rest of the
students are equally divided among 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. How many
students are in the 8th grade? ​

Answer 1

Hey there! there are 98 students in 8th grade.

Explanation:

let's see. If you subtract 376(total # of students) with 82 ( total # of 5th grade students) you will get 294. then you divide 294 by 3 other grades because there are 3 other grades than 5th grade. Since 6th, 7th, and 8th grade all have same number of students, you can divide them 3 and get you answer of 98! Hope this helped! Have a great day!
