Final answer:

To find out how many times the ride needs to run for 527 people, divide 527 by 12, which equals 43.9167. Round up to the next whole number, so the ride must run 44 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how many times a river raft ride that can hold 12 riders at a time will have to run to accommodate 527 people. To solve this, you need to divide the total number of people by the number of riders that the ride can hold at one time.

  1. First, divide 527 people by 12 riders per ride to get 43.9167 rides.
  2. Since you can't run a fraction of a ride, you'll need to round up to the next whole number, because even one person requires an additional ride.
  3. So, the ride needs to run 44 times to get all 527 people through the ride.
