Question

1100 pupils went on an excursion. Each teacher can look after a maximum of 40 students. What is the least number of teachers required for the excursion

Answer 1

To ensure the safety and proper supervision of the students, the school needs to determine the minimum number of teachers required for the excursion. If each teacher can look after a maximum of 40 students, then the least number of teachers required for the excursion would be 28, as 1100 divided by 40 equals 27.5, which rounds up to 28. Therefore, the school would need to have at least 28 teachers accompany the students on the excursion.
