Answer to Problem 7STP

$8$ will be needed for $64$ passengers

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Mrs. Connors is organizing the seventh grade field trip to the museum of natural history. She knows that $3$ vans will accommodate $24$ passengers.

Calculation:

Given that $3$ vans will accommodate $24$ passengers.

Therefore,

$24$ passengers need van $=3$

$1$ passenger need van $=\frac{3}{24}$

Thus, $64$ passengers need van $=\frac{3}{24}\times 64$

On solving the above,

$\begin{array}{l}Number=\frac{3\times 8}{3}\\ Number=\frac{1\times 8}{1}\\ Number=8\end{array}$

Hence, $8$ will be needed for $64$ passengers

Correct option is B
