Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. In "Ms. Washington bought twenty - four pencils for the classroom", hyphen is correctly used for compound numbers between 21 - 99.
  2. In "Alyssa has collected more than one hundred trading cards", no hyphen is needed for "one hundred".
  3. In "Caleb stirred one - fourth of the walnuts into the batter", hyphen is correctly used for fraction "one - fourth".
  4. In "There are three - hundred kids in my high school", no hyphen is needed for "three hundred".
  5. In "The scientist added one eighth of a teaspoon of salt to the solution", "one - eighth" should be hyphenated as it is a fraction. So this is incorrect as written.

Answer:

Ms. Washington bought twenty - four pencils for the classroom. Alyssa has collected more than one hundred trading cards. Caleb stirred one - fourth of the walnuts into the batter.
