Pupils' exercise

On part of the school playground there are embedded markers. Neighbouring markers are 60 cm apart from each other and form a square grid. The teacher said: line up on the markers in rows of three.
Change places into rows of four.
Stand in rows of six.
We will end the exercise in rows of eight.
The pupils carried out the command and no pupil was missing or in excess in the rows. How many pupils were there? Determine the dimensions of the figures that gradually arose.

Final Answer:

n =  24
a1 =  4.8 m
a2 =  3.6 m
a3 =  2.4 m
a4 =  1.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=60/100=53=0.6 m a1=a n/3=0.6 24/3=4.8 m
a2=a n/4=0.6 24/4=3.6 m
a3=a n/6=0.6 24/6=2.4 m
a4=a n/8=0.6 24/8=1.8 m
