Answer:
There would be 7 swan boat rides out of which 6 will carry 6 people each but the last swan boat ride carries 4 people. 2 more people can join the swan boat ride.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
A park guide plans the swan boat ride for 40 people.
Total number of people = 40
Number of people that can ride in 1 boat = 6
Number of boats required =
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{\text{Total number of people}}{\text{Numberof people that can ride in 1 boat}}=\frac{40}{6} = 6\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
This can also be represented with the modulo function which gives the remainder.
[tex]40 \mod(6) = 4[/tex]
Thus, there would be 7 swan boat rides out of which 6 will carry 6 people each but the last swan boat ride carries 4 people.
2 more people can join the swan boat ride.
