Apark guide plans the swan boat rides for 40 people. each boat can carry 6 people at a time . what is the best way to interpret the remainder in this situation so that everyone gets a ride?

40 dived by 6 would be 6.666 and so on. Which means there would be a remainder of people who would not fit onto the boats if there were only 6. They would need 7 boats. Not sure if that's the answer you needed.
