Hello Guest,

 

Collins Middle School has 248 sixth grade students. If the sixth grade is 40% of the total school, how many students are in the middle school?

 

248 students in sixth grade - 40%

60% students not in sixth grade - 372 students

 

60% + 40% = 100 %

248 students + 372 students = 620 students.

 

So in Collins Middle School there are 620 students in total.

 

Hope that was helpful. ^^
