Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. Which of the following could be combinations of values for the students and the minimum number of chaperones the museum requires? Choose 2 answers.
A. Students: 72
Minimum of chaperones: 9
B. Students: 16
Minimum of chaperones: 2
C. Students: 60
Minimum of chaperones: 6
D. Students: 45
Minimum of chaperones: 5
E. Students: 40
Minimum of chaperones: 8
Since the museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. This means that there will be 24/3 = 8 students per chaperone.
We then divide the number of students given in the question by the number of chaperone to know our answers. This. Will be:
Students: 72
Minimum of chaperones: 9
This will be: 72/9 = 8
Therefore, this is correct.
B. Students: 16
Minimum of chaperones: 2
This will be: 16/2 = 8
This is correct
C. Students: 60
Minimum of chaperones: 6
This will be: = 60/6 = 10.
Therefore, this is wrong
D. Students: 45
Minimum of chaperones: 5
This will be 45/5 = 9
Therefore, this is wrong.
E. Students: 40
Minimum of chaperones: 8
This will be: 40/5 = 8.
Therefore, this is wrong.
Therefore, options A and B are correct.
