The student population at south side middle school is listed in the table below

Boys Girls
98 102
89 105
123 117

A. Use the information in the table to find the total number of students who attend south side middle school. Show your work.

B. About how many more girls are enrolled in the school then boys? Show your work. Explain how you found your answer.

C. The school board wants the school to have one teacher for every 20 students. If there are 8 six-grade Teachers, does the school need to hire more sixth grade teachers? If so, how many more? Explain your answer?

Respuesta :

A.
Boys: 98+89+123=310
Girls: 102+105+117=324
Total: 324+310=634

B.
324-310=14
I found my answer by using the results from part A. I subtracted the total I got for the girls and for the boys which gave me 14 more girls then boys

C.
Yes, the school needs to hire 24 more teachers because if you divide 634 and 20 you get 31.7 and you can't have .7 of a teacher so you add .3 which would give you a whole number and since you already have 8 teachers you subtract I from 32 and you get 24.

Hope This Helps!!!!

Sorry Its So Long!!!!
