Question

At a ski lift 47 people are waiting to board cars each car can hold 6 people how many cars will be completely filled how many people are left to board the last car

Answer 1

So there are 47 people that need to be placed into cars; each car can hold 6 people. If we divide 47 by 6 we get the number of cars filled, which is 7 and 5/6. This means that there will be 7 cars that are completely filled and 5 people left to board the last car. Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

47 ÷  6 = 7 remainder 5

⇒ We need 7 cars which will hold 6 x 7 = 42 people
⇒ We have 5 people remaining.
⇒The 5 people will go into the last car.

Answer 5 people.
