Answer:

Transporting 6 people at a time, the boat can make 6 trips. The remainder of 4 means that one of the boat rides will be with 4 people boarded the boat

Explanation:

The 40÷6 division represents how many trips a park guide must take with the full boat. The division results in 6 (quotient), with a remainder of 4. This means that, transporting 6 people at a time, the boat can make 6 trips. The rest or remainder of 4 means that one of the boat rides will be with 4 people boarded the boat. In this way, 40 people can take swan boat rides.
