Question

The number of chaperones needed for a school field trip was s directly proportional to the number of students going on a field trip. In the Worcester public school for every ten student there must be one chaperones so for the field trip to see Hamilton their were supposed to be 15 chaperones for 150 student. In wachusett perineal school district they have a different proportion of chaperones to students if 96 students are going on a field trip 12 chaperones are needed how many chaperones are needed if 125 students are going on the field trip in wachusett

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of chaperones required for 96 students is 12.

Thus under each chaperone there are $\frac{96}{12}$ = 8 students.

Now a total of 125 students are supposed to be sent on a trip.

Therefore the total number of chaperones required for these 125 students are $\frac{125}{8} = 15.625$ ≈ 16. (converted to the highest integer because the leftover 5 students would need one more chaperones)

Therefore a total for 16 chaperones are required by the Wachusett Perineal School to take 125 students for a field trip.
