Question

9. Chet is camping with 75 people from his after-school club. A tent

Answer 1

Answer: $10\ tents$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of tents needed for 75 people.

According to the information provided in the exercise, a tent can hold up to 8 people.

Then, knowing that Chet is camping with 75 people from his after-school club, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{8}=\frac{x}{75}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

Then you get:

$(75)(\frac{1}{8})=x\\\\\frac{1*75}{8}=x\\\\x=9.37$

You need to round this result. Since 9 tents won't be enough (because $9*8=72$):

$x\approx10$
