Question

There are 4 chaperone for every 15 students who attend a school field trip. if there were 135 students, how many adults would there be on the field trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

There would be 36 adults on the field trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

There are 4 chaperone for every 15 students who attend a school field trip,

So, the ratio of the chaperone and students = $\frac{4}{15}$

Let there are x chaperone for 135 students,

So, the ratio of the chaperone and students = $\frac{x}{135}$

$\implies \frac{x}{135}=\frac{4}{15}$

$15x = 4\times 135$

$x=\frac{4\times 135}{15}=4\times 9=36$

Hence, there would be 36 adults on the field trip.

Answer 2

Let's just make 15 students a group. how many groups are there if there r 135 student? 135/15 = 9 groups.
so if each group have 4 adults just multiply 9 by 4,
therefore there will be 36.adults.
