Question

For an upcoming school field trip, there must be one adult supervisor for every five children.

If the bus seats 40 people, how many children can go on the trip?

Answer 1

Answer: 32 Childrens maximum I think

Step-by-step explanation: I believe it is 32 because there will be 8 adults for every 32 children (ratio 1 adult:5 children) then convert the ratio to ?adult: availaible seats (40) so multiply by 8 since 5×8 equals 40 and 8×1 equals 8 but the adults have their spots too so 40-8=32

Answer 2

the answer is 30, i did 6(the number of kids and adult combined) times 6( the highest number i could get to without going over the limit 40) hope this helped
