Answer 1

To determine the total number of eighth graders, we can use the provided table:

```
Friday Saturday Totals
7th graders 24 ? 52
8th graders ? 35 ?
Totals 52 ? ?
```

From the table, we know:
- 7th graders on Friday = 24
- Total attendance on Friday = 52

Now, we can find the number of 8th graders attending on Friday. Since the total for Friday is 52 and we know that 24 are 7th graders:

8th graders on Friday = Total on Friday - 7th graders on Friday
8th graders on Friday = 52 - 24 = 28

Now we can fill in the table:

```
Friday Saturday Totals
7th graders 24 ? 52
8th graders 28 35 ?
Totals 52 ? ?
```

Next, we calculate the total number of 8th graders:

Total 8th graders = 8th graders on Friday + 8th graders on Saturday
Total 8th graders = 28 + 35 = 63

Now, we can finalize the table:

```
Friday Saturday Totals
7th graders 24 ? 52
8th graders 28 35 63
Totals 52 35 ?
```

So, the total number of eighth graders is **63**.

The correct response is **63**.
