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
. The bus can hold a maximum of 54 teachers and students. If t represents the number of teachers and s represents the number of students, which of the following systems of inequalities best describes the possible numbers of teachers and students who can go on the trip?
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.
