Nate will be in group 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are four groups and 24 students, that means there will be 6 students per group since 24 : 4 = 6. You then begin you count off: 1,2,3,4 ... until you get to eleven. The first 4 students are the first member in each of the 4 groups. This process repeats until the 8th student. Since 4 can't go in again to reach 11. Therefore, 9th student will then belong to group 1, the 10th student to group 2, and then Nate (11th student) will belong to group 3.
