Question

Students from three classes at Hudson valley elementary school are planning a boat trip. On the trip there will be 20 students in each class, along with 11 total teachers and 13 total parents. Each body seats 10 people. How many boats will they need to rent? Explain how you solved the problem

Answer 1

20 divide by 10 and than you divide 11 by 10 and add 3 to the 1 left over and finally divide 10 by 10 so you need 5 boats

Answer 2

There are 20 students in each class. So 20*3 = 60 students
The total people are 60 + 11 + 13 = 84
Each boat occupies 10 people. So
84/10 = 8.4
