Question

There are 78 campers at a summer camp.

There are 6 campers per cabin. How many
cabins are there?

Answer 1

• 13 campers

Explanation:

We know that:

• 6 campers = 1 cabin
• Total = 78 campers.

Work:

• 6 campers = 1 cabin
• = 6x campers = 78 campers
• => x = 13 campers
• => 6 x 13 campers = 1 x 13 cabins
• => 78 campers = 13 cabins

Hence, 13 cabins are built for the campers.
