6 groups of 3 6 times 3 which equals 18
and 18 divided by 4 is 4.5 so it takes 5 cars.

Answer:

5 cars they need.

Explanation:

Given : There are 6 groups of 3 people waiting to go on the underground ride. Each car can take 4 people.

To find : How many cars do you need?

Solution :

i.e. total number of people are
6*3=18

Now, In 1 car take 4 people.

1 people =
(1)/(4) car

18 people =
(18)/(4) car

18 people =
4.5 car

Which means 18 people need 5 cars.

Therefore, 5 cars they need.
