They will need to rent 5 boats. 20+11+13=44 and each boat seats 10 people so 44÷10= 4 remainder:4  and you cant keave 4 people out they need another boat.

each class has 20 students

3 classes // 20 x3= 60

60 students + 11 teachers+13 parents = 84 people total

as you cant put half people in boats you round up to 90

meaning you would need 9 boats to have enough space for all of them xx

hope this helped x
