On a field trip, there will be 1 chaperone for every 11 students. A bus has room for 60 passengers. Principal Rodriguez wants to know how many chaperones and students to assign to each bus. x : number of chaperones y : number of students Which equation shows the relationship between the number of students and the number of chaperones? x=11y y+1=x+11 x+1=y+11 y=11x

Answer 1

To determine the correct equation that shows the relationship between the number of students (y) and the number of chaperones (x), we start with the information given: there is 1 chaperone for every 11 students. This means that for every 11 students, there is 1 chaperone.

This relationship can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ y = 11x \]

This means that the number of students \( y \) is equal to 11 times the number of chaperones \( x \).

So, the correct equation that shows the relationship between the number of students and the number of chaperones is:

\[ y = 11x \]
