Answer:


Step-by-ste

Oh, oh! This is such a tricky question...

Guess what!

Both of them are correct. Why?

Because if we simplify 3/12, we get 1/4th!

(How do you simplify?)

3/12 = 1/4

Because if we divide both "3" and "12" in 3/12 by 3, we get 1 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 12.


I hope you've got it! ;)

A group of teachers and students will take a bus trip to a museum, and each teacher will lead a group of no more than 4 students
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A maximum of 43 students and 11 teachers can go to the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a group of teachers and students will take a bus trip to a museum, and each teacher will lead a group of no more than 4 students, and the bus can hold a maximum of 54 teachers and students, to determine the possible numbers of teachers and students who can go on the trip, the following calculation must be performed:

4 + 1 = 5

54/5 = X

10.8 = X

10 x 4 = 40

10 x 1 = 10

4 - 1 = 3

Therefore, a maximum of 43 students and 11 teachers can go to the trip.
