There are 24 students in a class field trip. They plan to have 10 students in each van. How many vans will they need so that everyone can participate?

Question

2 vans
2 R4 vans
3 vans
3 R4 vans

Answer 1

To determine the number of vans needed for 24 students where each van can hold 10 students, you can use the following calculation:

1. Divide the total number of students by the capacity of each van:

   \[ \frac{24}{10} = 2.4 \]

2. Since you can't have a fraction of a van, you need to round up to the nearest whole number. This means you will need 3 vans to accommodate all 24 students.

Therefore, the answer is 3 vans.
