A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students.Which of the following could be combinations of values for the students and the minimum number of chaperones the museum requires?Choose 2 answers:A Students: 72Minimum number of chaperones: 9B Students: 16Minimum number of chaperones: 2C Students: 60Minimum number of chaperones: 6D Students: 45Minimum number of chaperones: 5E Students: 40Minimum number of chaperones: 8
Q. A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students.Which of the following could be combinations of values for the students and the minimum number of chaperones the museum requires?Choose 2 answers:A Students: 72Minimum number of chaperones: 9B Students: 16Minimum number of chaperones: 2C Students: 60Minimum number of chaperones: 6D Students: 45Minimum number of chaperones: 5E Students: 40Minimum number of chaperones: 8
Given Requirement: We are given that the museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for every 24 students. To find the correct combinations, we need to determine if the ratio of students to chaperones is the same as 24 students to 3 chaperones, which simplifies to 8 students to 1 chaperone.
Option A: Let's check option A: 72 students and 9 chaperones. We divide the number of students by the number of chaperones to see if it matches the ratio of 8:1. 72÷9=8Since 8 students per chaperone is the same ratio as the given requirement, option A is correct.
Option B: Now let's check option B: 16 students and 2 chaperones. Again, we divide the number of students by the number of chaperones.16÷2=8This also matches the ratio of 8 students per chaperone, so option B is correct.
Option C: Next, we check option C: 60 students and 6 chaperones. We divide the number of students by the number of chaperones.60÷6=10This does not match the ratio of 8 students per chaperone, so option C is incorrect.
Option D: Let's check option D: 45 students and 5 chaperones. We divide the number of students by the number of chaperones.45÷5=9This does not match the ratio of 8 students per chaperone, so option D is incorrect.
Option E: Finally, we check option E: 40 students and 8 chaperones. We divide the number of students by the number of chaperones.40÷8=5This does not match the ratio of 8 students per chaperone, so option E is incorrect.
