Question

The school field trip needs at least 1 chaperone for every 12 students. The school has 121 students who want to go on the field trip. If c represents the number of chaperones, and the school does not yet have enough to hold the field trip, how many chaperones might there be? (multiple choice)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is A: c<11

This is because the required amount of chaperones is 11 because the total number of students (121) divided by the required number of students per chaperone (12) is results in 10 remainder 1, and 11 required chaperones.

If the school does not have have enough chaperones that means they must have less than 11 chaperones, so the answer is c (the number of chaperones) is less than 11.
