Question

In our school Auditorium 1/6 of the students are 5th graders, 1/3 are fourth graders, and 1/4 of the remaining students are 2nd graders. If there are 96 students in the Auditorium how many 2nd graders are there

Answer 1

5th graders:
`(1)/(6)` x 96 = 16

4th graders:
`(1)/(3)` x 96 = 32

Remaining students: 96 - 16 - 32 = 48

2nd graders:
`(1)/(4)` x 48 = 12
