解析 · Solution
Solution 1
The number of 8 th 8 th -graders must be a multiple of both 5 5 and 8 8, so it must be at least 40 40. If there are 40 8 th 408 th -graders, then there are 3 5 ( 40 ) = 24 5 3 (40)=24 6 th 6 th -graders and 5 8 ( 40 ) = 25 7 th 8 5 (40)=257 th -graders, for a total of 40 + 24 + 25 = 89 40+24+25=89 students.
