Final answer:
By dividing the total number of students in 6th grade (240) by the total number of grades (60), we find that there are 4 students in each grade if the distribution is uniform.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 240 students in 6th grade and a total of 60 grades in the school, then to find out how many students there are in each grade, you would divide the total number of students in 6th grade by the total number of grades.
The calculation would be:
- Total number of students in 6th grade: 240
- Total number of grades: 60
- Number of students per grade: 240 / 60
When you divide 240 by 60, you get:
Number of students per grade = 4
Therefore, there would be 4 students in each grade if the school has a uniform distribution of students across all 60 grades.
