Answer 1

8 students can be in a row.

If the same amount of students must be in each row across the grades, determine their greatest common factor. That would be 8 (8*2=16, 8*3=24). Any more than that, and the rows are uneven. There can be a max of 8 people in a row (2 rows for 6th grade, and 3 rows for 7th)

Hope it helps! I can explain further if needed

Answer 2

There can be 8 students in each row
