Answer 1

6

Explanation:

At summer camp campers are divided into groups

Each group has 16 campers and 2 cabins

Therefore the number of cabins needed for 48 campers can be calculated as follows

16 campers = 2 cabins

48 campers = x

Cross multiply

16 × x = 48×2

16x =96

x= 96/16

x= 6

Hence 6 cabins are needed for 24 campers
