Question

) In an auditorium, 1/6 of the students are 5th graders 1/3 are 4th graders

and ¼ of the remaining students are 2nd graders, if they are 96 students in

the auditoriu seem how many 2nd graders are there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 96 students on the whole

Take away the fifth graders (1/6 X 96 = 16) and you have 80 left

Take away the fourth graders (1/3 X 96 = 32) and you have 48 left

Second graders are 1/4 of the remaining → 1/4* 48 = 12

The answer is 12

Answer 2

Answer:

so there are 96 students in total, and you know 1/6 of 96 are fifth graders:

96 x 1/6 = 16

and you know 1/3 of 96 are fourth graders:

96 x 1/3 = 32

so to find the remaining kids:

96-16-32= 48

1/4 of the remaining kids are second graders:

48 x 1/4 = 12

therefore, there are 12 second graders
