Question

The table shows where sixth grade students at Sharonton Middle school attended fifth grade. There are 156 sixty grade students. How many more students attended Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary?

Answer 1

I think it’s 39 because half of 156 is 78 and a fourth of 156 is 39 and 78-39= 39 so the answer is 39 more students

Answer 2

Answer: 39

Explanation:

Given : The number of sixth grade students = 156

The fraction of students attended Sharonton Elementary =
`(1)/(2)`

The number of students attended Sharonton Elementary =
`(1)/(2)*156=78`

The fraction of students attended Deacon Elementary =
`(1)/(4)`

The number of students attended Deacon Elementary =
`156(1)/(4)=39`

Thus , the more number of students attended Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary:-

`78-39=39`

Hence, the 39 students attended more Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary.
