Given:
Total number of people who signed up = 76
Each boat can transfer = 9 peoples
To find:
The number of boats required.
Solution:
We know that,
[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of peoples}}{\text{Number of peoples transferred by each boat}}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=\dfrac{76}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=8.44...[/tex]
Number of required boats must be a whole number. So, approximate the data to the next whole number.
[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=9[/tex]
Therefore, the required number of boats is 9.
