Construct the two-way table to determine the total number of eighth graders.

Answer 1

To determine the total number of eighth graders, we need to add up the number of eighth graders on Friday and Saturday.

Friday: 35
Saturday: 35

Adding them together:

35 + 35 = 70

There are a total of 70 eighth graders.

Answer 2

Incorrect. The answer choices are

A 59

B 28

C 63

D 35

Answer 3

To determine the total number of eighth graders, we need to look at the table information and calculate the total number of eighth graders.

From the table:
- Friday: 7th graders = 24
- Saturday: 8th graders = 35
- Total on Friday = 52
- Total on Saturday = 52

To find the total number of eighth graders:
Total 8th graders = Total on Saturday - 8th graders on Friday
Total 8th graders = 52 - 35
Total 8th graders = 17

Therefore, the total number of eighth graders is 35 + 17 = 52.

The correct answer should be D 35.
