Answer 1

In total 6 cars will be required.

Explanation:

27 students are going on a field trip and 5 students can ride in each car.

Now, 27 = 5 × 5 + 2

So, there will require 5 cars full of students i.e. each carrying 5 students and another car will be required to carry the remaining 2 students.

Therefore, in total (5 + 1) = 6 cars will be required. (Answer)
