Question

In our school Auditorium 1/6 of the students are 5th graders, 1/3 are fourth graders, and 1/4 of the remaining students are 2nd graders. If there are 96 students in the Auditorium how many 2nd graders are there

Answer 1

5th graders: $\frac{1}{6}$ x 96 = 16

4th graders: $\frac{1}{3}$ x 96 = 32

Remaining students: 96 - 16 - 32 = 48

2nd graders: $\frac{1}{4}$ x 48 = 12

Answer: 12 students
