228 people have registered for a sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon . If a tour director can take 35 people on each tour, how many tour directors will be needed to accomodate everyone?
228/35 (if an integer) or the next larger integer
228/35 = 6.514, so 7 tour directors are needed.
soooooooo... whats the answer if I push one of the tourists off the grand canyon. just wondering
To find out how many tour directors will be needed to accommodate everyone, you need to divide the total number of people by the number of people each tour director can take.
1. First, determine the total number of people, which is given as 228.
2. Next, find the number of people each tour director can take, which is 35.
3. Finally, divide the total number of people by the number of people each tour director can take: 228 ÷ 35.
By dividing 228 by 35, we find that approximately 6.51 tour directors would be needed to accommodate everyone. Since we can't have a fraction of a tour director, we need to round up the number to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, you would need 7 tour directors to accommodate everyone on the sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon.
