Answer 1

They need 7 cars for the field trip.

Explanation:

The given is,

27 students are going to field trip

4 students in each car

Step:1

Let, T = Total students are going field trip

X = Students in each car

Y = Number of cars need for field trip

Step:2

From given,

T = 27

X = 4

Step:3

Numbers of cars need for field trip,

Y =
`(Total students are going field trip)/(Students in each car)`

Y =
`(T)/(X)`

=
`(27)/(4)`

Y = 6.75 ( For the car, we need to convert the answer into whole number)

Y = 7 cars

Result:

They need 7 cars for the field trip, If 27 students are going on a field trip 4 students in each car.
