Each cable car at an amusement park can hold 6 riders. There are 51 people in line to ride the cable cars. Part A How many cable cars will the people in line fill? Enter the%C2%A0answer in the box. %C2%A0cable cars Question 2 (1 point) Part B How many more people are needed to fill the next cable car? Enter the answer in the box. %C2%A0people
Part A: Each cable car can hold 6 riders, so the number of cable cars needed to fill the line is 51 divided by 6, which equals 8.5. However, since cable cars cannot be filled partially, we must round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the people in line will fill 9 cable cars.
The answer for Part A is 9 cable cars.
Part B: To calculate the number of people needed to fill the next cable car, we need to find the remainder when the total number of people (51) is divided by the number of riders per cable car (6). The remainder is 3.
The answer for Part B is 3 people.

Part A: To determine the number of cable cars needed to fill the line, divide the total number of people in line (51) by the number of riders per cable car (6). The calculation is 51 / 6 = 8.5. However, since cable cars cannot be filled with half a person, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the people in line will fill 9 cable cars.
The answer for Part A is 9 cable cars.
Part B: To determine the number of more people needed to fill the next cable car, calculate the difference between the total number of people in line (51) and the number of people already on the filled cable cars (9 * 6 = 54). The calculation is 54 - 51 = 3.
The answer for Part B is 3 people.
To answer Part A, we need to determine how many cable cars will be filled by the 51 people in line.
Since each cable car can hold 6 riders, we can divide the total number of people in line by the capacity of each cable car:
51 people ÷ 6 riders per cable car = 8.5 cable cars
Since we cannot have a fraction of a cable car, we must round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the people in line will fill a total of 9 cable cars.
The answer to Part A is 9 cable cars.
To answer Part B, we need to determine how many more people are needed to fill the next cable car.
Since each cable car can hold 6 riders, and we already have 51 people in line, we can calculate the remainder after filling the 9 cable cars:
51 people - (9 cable cars × 6 riders per cable car) = 51 people - 54 riders = -3 riders
The negative value indicates that we have more than enough people to fill the next cable car. Therefore, no additional people are needed to fill the next cable car.
The answer to Part B is 0 people.
