If 6 students holding hands can reach 32 feet, how many students holding hands will it take to reach from one goal post on the football field to the other (a total distance of 366 feet)

How would I figure this one out?

How do you think you can figure it out? We'll be glad to check your answer.

take 32 divided by 6 than divide the 366 by that?

Yes. You're right.

If you end up with a decimal number, round it up to the next whole number.

To figure out how many students holding hands will it take to reach from one goal post to the other on the football field, you can set up a proportion based on the given information.

First, find out the ratio of distance covered to the number of students for the known scenario. In this case, 6 students holding hands can cover a distance of 32 feet. So, the ratio is 32 feet / 6 students.

Next, you can use this ratio to find out how many students will be needed to cover the desired distance of 366 feet. Set up a proportion using the known ratio and the unknown number of students.

32 feet / 6 students = 366 feet / X students

Now, cross-multiply and solve for X (the number of students):

32 feet * X students = 6 students * 366 feet

32X = 2196

Divide both sides of the equation by 32:

X = 2196 / 32

By dividing, you find that X is approximately 68.625.

Since you can't have a fraction of a student, round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, it would take 69 students holding hands to reach from one goal post to the other on the football field.
