110 book marks will be given to students attending the field trip

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of chaperons to students is:

1:5 can also be written as x : 5x

And total people going on trip are 132

This can also be written as:

x+5x = 132

[tex]6x = 132[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 6

[tex]\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{132}{6}\\x = 22[/tex]

So,

Number of chaperons = x = 22

Number of students = 5x = 5 * 22 = 110

As there are 110 students and each student will get a souvenir book marks, so 110 book marks will be given to students attending the field trip
