Question

30 students, along with some of their parents, are going to a trip to Washington DC. Some of the adults are driving cars, and each car can accommodate up to 5 people including the driver. What is the smallest number of adults that should be invited on the trip to get all 30 students to Washington?

Answer 1

15 because you have to divide by 2

Answer 2

Minimum 08 adults / drivers

Maximum 10 adults / drivers

Explanation:

Total students are 30

Each car can take total 5 incl. drive

There needs to be 7 cars taking the 30 students, which also means there have to be minimum 7 drivers / adults.

Min. passengers = 30 + 7

Of course, there will be space for 3 more in the 8th car since 5 x 8 = 40
