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 53 students?

We are given that the ratio of chaperon to student is at least 2 chaperon per 25 students. In this case, the number of chaperons of 80 students is 2 chaperon per 25 students * (80 students) equal to 6.4 chaperons .Since only natural numbers are allowed, then the answer should be.7 chaperons.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
