Question

There are 805 lockers in the athletic center and 4026 students who need lockers. Therefore, some students must share lockers. What is the largest number of students who must necessarily share a locker

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question below:-

Number of students = 4025

Lockers = 805

The calculation of the largest number of students who must necessarily share a locker is shown below:-

Largest number of students = ((Number of students - 1) ÷ Lockers) + 1

= ((4026 - 1) ÷ 805) + 1

= (4025 ÷ 805) + 1

= 5 + 1

= 6
