Question

Helen is helping plan a trip for three classes at her son’s school. School rules say that classes on trips must have 1 adult for every 6 children. One class has 24 children; one has 26 children; and the third has 28 children. Each class has 1 teacher. How many OTHER adults are needed for the trip?

Answer 1

So first you need 1 adult with every 6 children so do 6*4 and got 24. From that you get 4 adults with 2 leftover children. For the other class which has 28 children, you would still need 4 adults. Now since you said the teacher is included as an adult only 3 more are needed for the trip, and that is your answer.

Answer 2

10 more adults
