Hannah, Jim, and Julie are on a hiking trip with 2 children and their two dogs. They come to a huge lake with an island int he middle. Nearby is a small sailboat. The sailboat can hold 1 adult, or 2 kids, or a kid and a dog. Everyone can sail the boat except the dogs.

How many one-way trips will they have to make to get everyone to the island

16 45 miles in 60 minutes

4 times !???!!!

duh

To determine the number of one-way trips needed for everyone to reach the island, we need to consider the restrictions on who can be on the sailboat at a given time.

Let's break down the options:

1. One adult: The sailboat can hold one adult, so this would require one trip.

2. Two kids: The sailboat can hold two kids, so this would require one trip.

3. A kid and a dog: The sailboat can hold a kid and a dog, so this would require one trip.

Considering the options above, we can conclude that for every group of three (1 adult, 2 kids, and 2 dogs), only one trip is needed. However, if there are only two children and two dogs, they cannot be transported in a single trip, so an additional trip would be required.

Therefore, the number of one-way trips required for everyone to reach the island would be:

- If there are two adults: One trip for the two adults, one trip for the two kids, and one trip for the two dogs, totaling three trips.

- If there is one adult: One trip for the adult and one trip for the other adult, totaling two trips. Then, one trip for the two children, and one trip for the two dogs, totaling four trips.

It's worth mentioning that if there were more dogs than kids or more kids than dogs, it would also affect the number of trips required.
