Answer 1

To find out how many students admitted to committing plagiarism, we need to calculate the number of students based on the fractions provided.

1. **One out of eight**:
\[
\frac{43,000}{8} = 5,375 \text{ students}
\]

2. **One out of five**:
\[
\frac{43,000}{5} = 8,600 \text{ students}
\]

3. **One out of four**:
\[
\frac{43,000}{4} = 10,750 \text{ students}
\]

4. **One out of three**:
\[
\frac{43,000}{3} \approx 14,333.33 \text{ students} \text{ (approximately 14,333 students)}
\]

Based on these calculations, the number of students who admitted to committing plagiarism would be:

- **One out of eight**: 5,375 students
- **One out of five**: 8,600 students
- **One out of four**: 10,750 students
- **One out of three**: Approximately 14,333 students
