Question

Thirty eight students are going on a field trip. Parents will drive. Each car can hold 4 students along with the driver. How many cars will be needed?

Answer 1

To determine how many cars are needed to transport 38 students, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of students that can fit in each car.

According to the problem, each car can hold 4 students and a driver. Therefore, the total number of people that can fit in one car is 4+1 = 5.

To transport 38 students, we need to divide 38 by 4 to find the number of cars needed to transport all the students.

38 ÷ 4 = 9 remainder 2

This means that 9 cars can transport 36 students (9 cars x 4 students per car), but we still have 2 students left.

Therefore, we need an additional car to transport the remaining 2 students.

In total, we need 10 cars to transport all 38 students.

Answer 2

Answer: you will need 8 cars. 4 can go into 7 evenly so you will have to left over. So 8 cars will be necessary.

Step-by-step explanation: divide 30 by four which equals 7.5 so we can just round up and say we need 8 cars
