Question

School guidelines require that there must be at least 2 chaperones for every 25 students going on a school trip. How many chaperones must there be for 82 students? A. 6 chaperones B. 41 chaperones C. 7chaperones D 3 chaperones

Answer 1

A. 6 chaperones

Explanation:

Since it's 2 chaperones per 25 students you would need to see how many times 25 can fit into 82

82/25 = 3.28

You can round that number to 3

Then you'll multiply 3 by 2 to get your number of chaperones for the school trip

3 x 2 = 6

There's still students left but not enough for there to be another chaperone so the answer is 6
