We can use ratio and proportion to find the number of chaperones

Let x represent the number of chaperones.

<u>Number of Students</u>                                    <u>Number of Chaperones</u>

25                                                                                   2

53                                                                                x


If 25 corresponds to 2, then 53 will correspond to a value more than 2. If more, less divides, hence

x=\frac{2 \times53}{25}


x=\frac{106}{25}


x=4.24

Since humans are whole entities, we round up to the nearest whole number which is 5.

The point is that we are dealing with humans and 4.24 means 4 chaperones plus 0.24 chaperone. since we cannot add 0.24 of the next chaperone to the 4, we add one full chaperone.

<h2>So there are at least 5 chaperones</h2>

The approximate time between two high tides or<br> two low tides is?
NeX [460]

Answer:

It's (very roughly) 12 hours from one high tide to the next, and of course the same for low tides. That's because the tides produced when the Moon is directly overhead or in the opposite direction are the same. Same with two low tides, since there are two tides a day (both low and high).
