Answer 1

They need 7 cars for the field trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

        The given is,

             27 students are going to field trip

             4 students in each car

Step:1

         Let, T = Total students are going field trip

                X = Students in each car

                Y = Number of cars need for field trip

Step:2

        From given,

              T = 27

              X = 4

Step:3

       Numbers of cars need for field trip,

              Y = $\frac{Total students are going field trip}{Students in each car}$

              Y = $\frac{T}{X}$

                 = $\frac{27}{4}$

              Y = 6.75     ( For the car, we need to convert the answer into whole number)

              Y = 7 cars

Result:

     They need 7 cars for the field trip, If 27 students are going on a field trip 4 students in each car.
