Answer 1

To find the total number of sixth-grade students surveyed, we need to sum the values corresponding to the sixth-grade students in each subject from the provided data:

• Math, Grade 6th: 53
• English, Grade 6th: 47
• Science, Grade 6th: 42

Now, we can add these values together:

\[ 53 + 47 + 42 = 142 \]

Thus, the total number of sixth-grade students surveyed is:

A. 142
