Apark guide plans the swan boat ride for 40 people. each boat can carry 6 people at time. how do you interpret the remainder of 40/6 in this situation so everybody gets a ride?

There would be 7 swan boat rides out of which 6 will carry 6 people each but the last swan boat ride carries 4 people. 2 more people can join the swan boat ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A park guide plans the swan boat ride for 40 people.

Total number of people = 40

Number of people that can ride in 1 boat = 6

Number of boats required =

This can also be represented with the modulo function which gives the remainder.

Thus, there would be 7 swan boat rides out of which 6 will carry 6 people each but the last swan boat ride carries 4 people.

2 more people can join the swan boat ride.

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
