There are 233 skiers in line to ride the chair lift. If each chair seats 5 people, how many skiers will be on the last chair?

Answer:

At first we will divide 233 with 5

233/5= 46.6

So,

there will be 46.6 chairlifts occupied

After that we will subtract 233 from 46

233-46=186/5=37

So,

there will be 37 skiers on the last chair lift

Answer:

3 people will be seated on the last chair.

Explanation:

46 seats can fit 5 people perfectly. But if you multiply 46*5, it will equal 230, and that isn't the total number of skiers. So, you only need 3 more skiers to make up the total, so that means that there will be 3 skiers in the last chair.

(Sorry If This Didn't Make Sense)

Sorry that no one answered either :(

Hope this helps!!
