the answer is 8 campers per tent

Answer 2

There are 8 students in each tent.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Total number of students = 72

Total number of tents = 9

Formula:

Number of students in each camp =

`\displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of Students}}{\text{Number of camps}}`

Putting all the values, we have,

Number of students in each camp =
`\displaystyle(72)/(9) = 8`

Hence, there are 8 students in each tent.
