Q. In a school, 8 classrooms are required if each class has 33 pupils.How many classrooms would be required if the class size has reduced to 22 ?
Calculate Total Pupils: First, we need to calculate the total number of pupils that can be accommodated in 8 classrooms when each class has 33 pupils.Calculation: 8 classrooms ×33 pupils per classroom =264 pupils
Determine Classrooms Needed: Next, we need to determine how many classrooms would be required if each classroom can only accommodate 22 pupils.Calculation: Total number of pupils ÷ Number of pupils per reduced-size classroom = 264÷22
Perform Division: Now, we perform the division to find the number of classrooms needed for the reduced class size.Calculation: 264÷22=12
