Monday Math: Big Class

Posted by MomOnMars on January 08, 2012

Welcome to Shana’s Corner, where each Monday, I post a question from the Blue Filing Box of math problems. The first person with the correct answer wins. This week’s prize is a copy of  the Cowgirl Alphabet by Laurie Knowlton, a high-spirited, fast-talking alphabet book that’s all about working hard, thinking smarter and being tougher — all the things that gals do best!

Big Class

A class of 30 students was divided into two groups. One group had eight more students than the other. How many students were in the larger group?
