Question

Eighteen friends are going to the beach. If each car holds 5 people, how many cars need to be driven to the beach in order for all of the friends to have a ride?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

18 people(friends)

5x4=20

Which means there is going to be 2 extra seats. Four cars with five seats 3x5=15. This means you would need 3 more seats so you need a whole other car. Which means you have 4 cars.

Hope this helps.
