Rock Elementary School is planning a field trip and knows there will be 65 children and 6 chaperones. Complete #3-8 about the number of buses and chaperones needed. 5. On another field trip, 95 children and 10 chaperones will need to be transported. How many buses are needed? Answer: 6. The principal sees that the need for buses for field trips is a recurring situation, but the number of buses is not always calculated correctly. Consequently, there have been trips where parents had to drive children due to a lack of buses, which is a potential liability for the school. To prevent this from happening in the future, the principal wants a formula for the number of buses the school needs for a field trip. Here is what he creates: B= SIC where B= number of buses, S = number of students, and C= number of chaperones. Round the result up to the next whole number if the answer is a decimal. Verify that this equation works with the numbers in #5. Answer:
