just took the test these are the answers!!
To determine the total number of eighth graders, we need to consider the information given in the table.
From the table, we know that there are a total of 52 students.
We also know that on Saturday, there were 35 students in total, so this includes both 7th graders and 8th graders.
Therefore, to find the total number of eighth graders, we need to subtract the number of 7th graders on Saturday from the total number of students on Saturday.
Let's denote the number of 7th graders on Saturday as x.
Therefore, the number of 8th graders on Saturday can be calculated as follows:
Total number of students on Saturday (35) - Number of 7th graders on Saturday (x) = Number of 8th graders on Saturday.
The two-way table doesn't provide us with the specific number of 7th graders on Saturday, so we cannot determine the exact number of 8th graders without more information.
35
To determine the total number of eighth graders, we can use the totals given in the table. The total number of students is given as 52. We can subtract the number of seventh graders (24) from the total number of students to find the number of eighth graders.
Total number of eighth graders = Total number of students - Number of seventh graders
= 52 - 24
= 28
Therefore, the total number of eighth graders from the table is 28.
