K so u would divide 53 and 6 and u would get 8 r 5 so that means 5 students can't go to the field trip so u need one more chaperone for the 5 students so u would need 9 chaperone

To find out how many chaperones are needed we need to know the multiples of 6.
6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90,96,102
Counting how many times 6's go into 53, we get 9.
We will need 9 chaperones!
I hope that helps!
