I think it’s 39 because half of 156 is 78 and a fourth of 156 is 39 and 78-39= 39 so the answer is 39 more students

Answer: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of sixth grade students = 156

The fraction of students attended Sharonton Elementary = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The number of students attended Sharonton Elementary =[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times156=78[/tex]

The fraction of students attended Deacon Elementary = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

The number of students attended Deacon Elementary = [tex]156\dfrac{1}{4}=39[/tex]

Thus , the more number of students attended Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary:-

[tex]78-39=39[/tex]

Hence, the 39 students attended more Sharonton Elementary than Deacon Elementary.
