Question

A company charters boats for whale watching. The company chartered 13 boats. There were a total of 325 passengers on the boats. What was the average number of passengers per boat?​

Answer 1

There were 25 passengers in each boat.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of boats chartered by the company = 13

Total number of passengers in the boats = 325

Average number of passengers per boat can be calculated by dividing total number of passengers to number of boats chartered.

Average number of passengers =
`(325)/(13)`

Average number of passengers = 25 passengers per boat

Hence,

There were 25 passengers in each boat.
