A tour group with 44 people in it is getting rooms in a motel to stay in for the night. no more than 5 people can stay in each r
Anna11 [10]
Hello! 

Since we want to find out how many rooms will be needed for 44 people, we must use division. 

44 ÷ 5 = 8.8

Check by multiplying: 

5 × 8 = 40

Because 40 is less than the amount of people (44), we'll need to multiply by the next number in line (9): 

5 × 9 = 45 (1 extra person, no biggie!) 

The tour group will need 9 rooms.
