Respuesta :
Given that, the total number of students in seventh and eighth grade combined is 584.
The number of students in seventh grade= 5/8 of the total number of students.
[tex]=\frac 5 8 \times 584=365[/tex]
As 4/5 of the total seventh-grade students participated in the track-and-field-event.
So, the number of seventh-grade students participated
[tex]= \frac 4 5 \times 365=292[/tex]
The number of students in the eighth grade 3/8 of the total number of students.
[tex]=\frac 3 8 \times 584=219[/tex]
As 7/8 of the total eighth-grade students participated in the track-and-field-event.
So, the number of seventh-grade students participated
[tex]= \frac78 \times 219=191.625.[/tex]
The number of students must be a counting number, but here, as per the given information, the number of seventh-grade students participated coming out a fractional number, so the given information is incorrect.
Although, as per the given data, the mathematical value of the total number of students participated from both the grade combined
=292+191.625
=483.625 (mathematically)
Again, in real life, the fractional value of the total number of students is not possible.
