A. 51
B. 54
C. 57
D. 60

Answer 1

To determine the minimum number of chaperones needed for the field trip, divide the total number of students by the group size that requires 3 chaperones, then multiply by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the minimum number of chaperones needed for the field trip, we need to divide the total number of students by the group size that requires 3 chaperones. Since the group size is 22 students, we divide 374 by 22 to get 17 groups. Since each group requires 3 chaperones, we multiply 17 by 3 to get a minimum of 51 chaperones needed for the trip. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 51.
