Question

There are 272 students in a school and there are 7 classrooms in total. If one classroom has 8 students and the rest of the classrooms have the same number of students, how many students are there in each of the remaining 6 classrooms? Write and solve a two-step equation to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:44

Step-by-step explanation:You know where 8 of the 272 students are, they’re in that 7th classroom. Since the 7th classroom’s students shouldn’t be in your final answer, take 8 from 272. Now you’ve got 264. Now there’s 6 classrooms left, and each has an equal amount. Divide 264 (the student body from all 6 classrooms) by 6 (the number of classrooms) and you get 44 (the amount of kids in each class in order for all classrooms to have an equal amount of kids).
