Question

A group of 53 tourists visit a museum. Museum volunteers lead tours for groups of no more than 8 tourists. Draw a model to show the least number of groups that can be formed for these 53 tourists. Use circles to show the groups and choose a symbol to show each person.

Answer 1

Total number of group formed = 7

Explanation:

As given,

1 group has 8 people

Total people = 53

Let

Total number of group made = x

As 1 group = 8 tourist

⇒x group = 8x tourist

As Total tourist = 53

⇒8x = 53

⇒x =
`(53)/(8)` = 6.6

This means,

There are 6 full group of 8 people in each group = 48 tourist

and 1 group of 53-48 = 5 people.

So,

Total number of group formed = 7

In the diagram , Δ represent each person.

The figure is as follows :
