Answer:

Option A, 9 seniors

Step-by-step explanation:

A school choir has 36 members.

It is given that there are three times as many underclassmen as seniors.

In other way we can say that there are $\frac{3}{4}$ underclassmen and

$\frac{1}{4}$ are seniors.

Seniors are $\frac{1}{4}$ × 36

= 9 seniors.

Option A, 9 seniors

There are 9 seniors.

Although there are several ways of solving this problem, I just did what was easiest for me in my head. I divided 36 by 4, which gave me 9.
