Question

There are 22 4th grade students and 26 fifth grade students who became cheerleaders each cheer leading group will have 8 members what equation can be used to find out how many groups can be made

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation to find the number of groups can be formed is given as: $n=\frac{22+26}{8}$

where $n$ represent the number of groups that can be formed.

We get $n=6$ on solving

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of 4th grade students who become cheerleader = 22

Number of 5th grade students who become cheerleader = 26

Number of cheerleaders in each cheer leading groups = 8

We need to divide the total number of cheer leaders into groups of 8.

Let $n$ represent the number of groups that can be formed.

Total number of students who want to become cheerleaders = $22+26$

So, equation to find the number of groups can be given as :

$n=\frac{22+26}{8}$

⇒ $n=\frac{48}{8}$

⇒ $n=6$

Thus,a total of 6 cheer leading groups can be formed.
