The correct answer is 8 packets.
To find out how many packets the chorus students shared, divide the total number of packets in the folder by the number of packets they decided to share.
Total number of packets in the folder: 24
Number of packets shared: 38
Dividing 38 by 24, we find that the chorus students shared 12 packets.
