Question

Ast year, 3,120 students competed in a statewide athletic competition. If each participating school district sent 26 students to the competition, how many participating school districts were there?

Answer 1

Answer: 120 schools

Step-by-step explanation:

3,120 students competed in a statewide athletic competition and each participating school district sent 26 students to the athletic competition.

Total number of students= 3120

Total students sent by each school= 26

Number of participating school districts= Total number of students ÷ he students sent by each school

= 3120 / 26

= 120 students

There are 120 participating schools in the competition

Answer 2

Answer:

There were 120 school districts participating in the competition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of school districts that participated in the competition we need to take the total amount of students that were present and divide it by the number of students each district sent. In this case there were 3,120 students and each district sent 26 students. So we have:

number of districts = 3120/26

number of districts = 120

There were 120 school districts participating in the competition.
