For an upcoming school field trip, there must be one adult supervisor for every five children. If the bus seats 40 people, how many children can go on the trip?

32 Childrens maximum I think

Step-by-step explanation: I believe it is 32 because there will be 8 adults for every 32 children (ratio 1 adult:5 children) then convert the ratio to ?adult: availaible seats (40) so multiply by 8 since 5×8 equals 40 and 8×1 equals 8 but the adults have their spots too so 40-8=32

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
