School guidelines require that there must be at least 2 chaperones for every 25 students going on a school trip. How many chaperones must there be for 53 students?
27 chaperones
5 chaperones
4 chaperones
2 chaperones
There must be at least 2 chaperones for every 25 students.
To determine the number of chaperones required for 53 students, divide 53 by 25.
53 ÷ 25 = 2 remainder 3
Since there is a remainder, it means that there will be more than 2 groups of 25 students. Therefore, we will need an additional 1 or 2 chaperones.
So, the correct answer is either 4 chaperones or 5 chaperones.
