Answer:

188 kids in intermediate, 100 juniors, and 13 children that attend primary school.

Explanation:

K there are 300 kids.

5/8 are intermediate, so 5/8 * 300 = 187.5, you can't have half a kid, so we can round to 188 kids are intermediates.

1/3 are juniors, so 1/3 * 300 = 100 are juniors.

The rest are primary:

(1)-(5/8 + 1/3)= 1/24

Thus, 1/24 are primary students, so 1/24 * 300 = 12.5 and again we will round up to 13 children in primary classes.

I am not sure if this is answering your question since you don't specifically have one listed.
