Question

1250 scouts are going on a camping trip the organizers decide that 4

scouts will sleep in each tent how many tents do they each need to provide for the scouts

Answer 1

Answer: 313 tents

Explanation:

There is a total of 1250 scouts. Four scouts will share a tent.

Take the total number of scouts and divide it by the number of scouts that will share a tent.

1250 scouts x (1 tent/4 scouts) = 312.5 tents

Since you can't have a half a tent, you need 313 tents for the trip.
