Answer: 4 adults are needed to accompany 32 students.

Explanation:

Given: School requires 1 adult to accompany every 8 students on a field trip.

The number of adults are needed to accompany 32 students =
$\frac{32}{\text{Number of students accompanied by an adult}}$

$=(32)/(8)\\\\=4$

Hence, 4 adults are needed to accompany 32 students.
