Then you'll need 7 adults! (round up!)
im in 5th and i know round up so 7
To find the number of adults needed for the field trip, you can divide the total number of students by the number of students each adult can supervise.
Given that Miss Wilson needs one adult for every 15 students, and there are 100 students going on the trip, you divide 100 by 15:
100 / 15 ≈ 6.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
However, as you correctly mentioned, you can't have a fraction of an adult. In situations like this, it's necessary to round up to the nearest whole number. Since you can't have a fraction of an adult, you'll need to round up to the nearest whole number.
Rounded up, 6.67 becomes 7. Therefore, Miss Wilson will need 7 adults to accompany the 100 students on the field trip.
