Question

There are 6 classes going on a field trip. Each class has 26 students.
Each car can hold 5 students. How many cars are needed to get all
he students to the field trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

32 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If each class has 26 students, we can multiply the number of classes, 6, by the amount of students in each class, to find the total amount of students going on the field trip.

6 * 26 = 156 students

Each vehicle can hold 5 students. To find the amount of vehicles needed to transport all the children, we need to divide the number of students by 5.

156 / 5 = 31.2 vehicles

I don't think they plan on driving 0.2 of a vehicle, so we would have to round. We can't round down because if we did, there would be one student left.

31 * 5 = 155 students

Unless the student plans on biking there, they would have to have 32 cars ready to drive the students to the field trip.
