Choose one answer that’s most for

Answer 1

To determine a viable solution for allocating 12 new cheerleaders between varsity and junior varsity squads, we can analyze each option:

1. 15 varsity cheerleaders and -3 junior varsity cheerleaders: This option is not viable, as it would result in a negative number of junior varsity cheerleaders.

2. 8 varsity cheerleaders and 8 junior varsity cheerleaders: This option totals 16 cheerleaders, which exceeds the required 12, so it is not feasible.

3. 0 varsity cheerleaders and 12 junior varsity cheerleaders: This option totals 12 cheerleaders, which is exactly what is needed, making it a viable solution.

4. 8 varsity cheerleaders and 4 junior varsity cheerleaders: This option adds up to 12 cheerleaders, which is also a viable solution.

Given the requirement to choose one viable solution, both the third and fourth options are feasible. However, if you need to pick just one, the 0 varsity cheerleaders and 12 junior varsity cheerleaders solution is a straightforward allocation that meets the criteria.

Therefore, the best answer would be: 0 varsity cheerleaders and 12 junior varsity cheerleaders.
