Question

A group of 103 campers are going on a field trip. There must be one adult for every 6 students. How many adults need to chaperone?

Answer 1

To determine how many adults are needed to chaperone 103 campers, divide the total number of campers by the ratio of 6 students per adult.

103 campers / 6 students = 17.17 adults

Since you can't have a fraction of an adult, you will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you will need at least 18 adults to chaperone the group of 103 campers.
