Step 1: Find the number of pupils in Year 6.
ReplyDeleteThree-eighths of 240:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
30 × 3 = 90
Year 6 = 90 pupils
Step 2: Find the remaining pupils (Year 7 and Year 8 combined).
240 − 90 = 150
Step 3: Split the remaining pupils equally between Year 7 and Year 8.
150 ÷ 2 = 75
Year 8 = 75 pupils
