Answer
A
Ms. Washington bought twenty-four pencils for the classroom.
B
Alyssa has collected more than one hundred trading cards.
C
Caleb stirred one-fourth of the walnuts into the batter.
D
There are three-hundred kids in my high school.
E
The scientist added one eighth of a teaspoon of salt to the solution.

Explanation

A is correct because twenty-four is a compound number from twenty-one through ninety-nine and takes a hyphen. B is correct because one hundred is written without a hyphen. C is correct because a fraction used as a quantity, as in one-fourth of the walnuts, is hyphenated. D should say three hundred, without a hyphen, and E should say one-eighth, with a hyphen.
