Answer 2

First, we need to find out how many siblings the students have in total and how many siblings the teachers have in total.

The students: (1 x 4) = 4 + (2 x 7) = 18 + (3 x 5) = 33 + (4 x 2) = 41. The students have a total of 41 siblings.

The teachers: (1 x 3) = 3 + (2 x 2) = 7 + (3 x 4) = 19 + (4 x 5) = 39 + (5 x 3) = 54 + (6 x 1) = 60 + (8 x 1) = 68. The teachers have a total of 68 siblings.

Now that we have this information, we know that the answer is option 1, the students tend to have fewer siblings than the teachers. This is because the students had a total of 41 siblings and the teachers had a total of 68 siblings, and 41 is less than 68 so the students have fewer siblings than the teachers.

I really hope I could help! I put a lot of work into this answer! :D
