To find the number of boats the group of campers will be able to carry, we need to divide the total number of campers by the number of campers required to carry each boat.
Given:
Total number of campers = 293
Number of campers required to carry each boat = 3
To find the number of boats:
Number of boats = Total number of campers / Number of campers required to carry each boat
Number of boats = 293 / 3
Using long division:
97
--------------
3 | 293
- 3
-----
23
- 21
------
2
Therefore, the group of 293 campers will be able to carry approximately 97 boats.
