Final answer:

To find how many of the 196 teachers have at least 10 years of experience, calculate 3/4 of 196, which results in 147 teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate how many teachers have at least 10 years of teaching experience in a school district where there are 196 teachers, and 3/4 of them have at least that amount of experience. To find the number of teachers with at least 10 years of experience, we need to multiply the total number of teachers by the fraction that represents the experienced teachers.

So, the calculation will be:

  1. Find 3/4 of 196: (3/4) × 196 = 147.

Therefore, 147 teachers have at least 10 years of teaching experience in that school district.
