To solve this problem, we need to determine how many cans were collected by grade 3 students and grade 5 students.
Let's start by finding the number of cans collected by grade 3 students. We are given that grade 3 students collected 1/3 of all the cans. To find this amount, we can multiply the total number of cans collected (240) by 1/3:
Grade 3 cans = 240 * 1/3
Grade 3 cans = 80
So, grade 3 students collected 80 cans.
Next, we need to determine how many cans were collected by grade 5 students. We know that grade 4 students collected 52 cans, which means the remaining cans were collected by grade 5 students.
To find the number of cans collected by grade 5 students, we subtract the cans collected by grade 3 and grade 4 from the total number of cans:
Grade 5 cans = 240 – (Grade 3 cans + Grade 4 cans)
Grade 5 cans = 240 – (80 + 52)
Grade 5 cans = 240 – 132
Grade 5 cans = 108
Therefore, grade 5 students collected 108 cans.
The answer is C. 108.
