Answer 1

Each of the four 6th-grade math teachers at Morningside Middle School will have 67 students when the total number of 6th-grade students, which is 268, is split evenly among them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many students each of the four 6th-grade math teachers at Morningside Middle School will have, we divide the total number of 6th-grade students by the number of math teachers. There are 268 6th-grade students and 4 teachers. So the calculation we need to perform is:

Number of students per teacher = Total number of students / Number of teachers = 268 / 4 = 67.

Therefore, each teacher will have 67 students if the students are evenly split among the 4 teachers.
