Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people waiting for river raft ride = ?

Number of people the raft holds = 8

To Find:

The number of rafts needed =?

Solution:

Let X be the total number rafts needed to accommodate  all the 136 people waiting for the River Raft ride.

So now X will be

X= [tex]\frac{\text{Total number of people}}{\text{number of people a raft can hold}}[/tex]

X= [tex]\frac{136}{8}[/tex]

X = 17
