Question

There will be 2,375 campers at a state summer camp this year. If each cabin has 2 counselors for every 50 campers, what prediction can you make about the number of counselors who will be at the state camp?

There will be about 1,163 counselors there.
There will be about 1,188 counselors there.
There will be about 95 counselors there.
There will be about 48 counselors there.

Answer 1

Answer: 95

Explanation:

If there are 2375 campers and each cabin has about 50 campers, then there would be 47.5 cabins. There are 2 counselors per cabin, therefore there would be 95 counselors.

2375÷50 = 47.5

47.5 X 2 = 95
