There are 648 students in 5th grade at oak elementary school. For the upcming field trip,they need to be split into groups of 25. About how many groups are needed?
Let's round 648 to 650.
Divide 650 by 25.
To find the number of groups needed, we can divide the total number of students by the number of students in each group.
In this case, there are 648 students and each group should have 25 students. So we can divide 648 by 25:
648 ÷ 25 = 25.92
Since we cannot have a fraction of a group, we will need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, about 26 groups would be needed for the upcoming field trip.
