miss handson ask students to prepare booths for the Fall Fair. In all, 40 students volunteered. miss Hanson wanted no more than six students in a group. if one teacher helps each group, how many teachers will be needed?
That's 6 groups of 6 and 1 group of 4, so 7 teachers.
Nothing was said about having the largest groups possible. Suppose only 3 students are in each group. That will require 14 teachers.
If a "group" is to imply at least 2 students, then that means as many as 20 teachers might be required.
Poorly posed problem.
40/6 = 6 2/3
Round to nearest whole teacher.
To determine the number of teachers needed, we need to divide the total number of students by the maximum number of students per group.
Given that there are 40 students and no more than 6 students per group, we divide 40 by 6:
40 / 6 = 6 remainder 4
This means that we can form six complete groups of 6 students, but we have 4 students remaining. Therefore, we need an additional group to accommodate these remaining students.
So, we would need a total of 7 groups. Since each group requires one teacher to help, we would need 7 teachers for the event.
