5 will form their own group so there would be total no. of 9 groups and one chaperone each means 9 chaperone

Answer 2

Given: Total number students is 53.

To find: total number of chaperone needed.

Solution:

Divide 53 by 6.

$\[\frac{{53}}{6} = 8\frac{5}{6}\]$

Understand that, there will be a total of 8 groups having 6 students and 5 students will be remaining.

Know that from the question, the remaining student wanted a smaller group. therefore, the remaining 5 students can form a group. So, there are a total of 9 groups and each group has one chaperone.

Hence, there are a total of 9 chaperones.
