C. The school board wants the school to have one teacher for every 20 students. If there are 8 six-grade Teachers, does the school need to hire more sixth grade teachers? If so, how many more? Explain your answer

Answer 1

A- 98+89+123=310  (boys)
A-102+105+117=324 (girls)

B-324-310=14 I found my answer by subtracting the girls from the boys and I got 14

C-They will need to hire 24 more teachers because if you add the students together you will get 644 then you divide it by 20 and you get 32 but since they already have 8 teachers you would just subtract 8 from 32 wich you get 24
