Question

The elementary Robotics Club is going on a field trip to the Kennedy Space Center. They will need to rent minivans to get to their destination. There are 35 fourth graders and 40fifth graders in the Robotics Club. Each minivan can only hold 8 people. How many minivans does the school need to rent?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 minivans .

Explanation:

Given: There are 35 fourth graders and 40fifth graders in the Robotics Club.

Total people = 35+40 = 75

Since each minivan can only hold 8 people.

Number of minivan required = (Total people) ÷ 8

= 75 ÷ 8

= 9.375≈ 10

Hence, the school needs to rent approx. 10 minivans .
