    OK so if 70% of students in 8th grade have siblings and 112 8th graders have siblings, then:

    0.7 (total 8th graders) = 112

    total 8th graders = 112/0.7

    total 8th graders = 160

    And since the number of 8th graders is 5/6 the size of the 7th grade class:

    5/6 (7th grade class) = 160

    5 (7th grade class) = 960

    7th grade class = 192.

    The correct answer is D) 192.
