Answer: 313 tents

Explanation:

There is a total of 1250 scouts. Four scouts will share a tent.

Take the total number of scouts and divide it by the number of scouts that will share a tent.

1250 scouts x (1 tent/4 scouts) = 312.5 tents

Since you can't have a half a tent, you need 313 tents for the trip.
