184 sixth graders are going on a field trip. There needs to be one chaperone for every four students. If a bus can hold 50 people, how many busses will they need for the trip? Hint: You can't use part of a bus! *

5 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of 6th graders going for the field trip = 184

Step 1

Divide the total number of students by 4

184/4 = 46

We have 46 groups of six graders.

Step 2

There needs to be one chaperone for every four students.

We have 46 groups of six graders

This means there is need for 1 chaperone per group

Hence, we have 46 chaperones

Step 3

Find total number of people going for the field trip

184 students + 46 chaperones

= 230 people

Step 4

If a bus can hold 50 people, how many buses will they need for the trip?

50 people = 1 bus

230 people = ??y

50 × y = 230

y = 230/50

y = 4.6 buses

Hence, 4.6 buses would be needed but since we can't have 0.6(part) of a bus figuratively, as buses come in whole numbers, we approximate to the nearest whole number

= 4.6 ≈ 5

Therefore, they would be needing 5 buses for the trip.
