In a particular race, 960 participants volunteered. Each boat is pedalled by 64 people. How many boats will be needed?

Correct Answer

Given: Total participants = 960 People per boat = 64

Calculation:

960÷64960 \div 64

64×10=64064 \times 10 = 640, remainder = 960−640=320960 - 640 = 320 64×5=32064 \times 5 = 320, remainder = 0 Total boats = 10+5=1510 + 5 = 15

Answer: ∴ 15 boats will be needed.

Explanation

The chapter shows: 960÷64960 \div 64. Using the table method: 10 boats carry 640 people (remaining: 320), 5 more boats carry 320 people (remaining: 0). Total boats = 10+5=1510 + 5 = 15.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Divide 960 by 64

  2. Step 2: 64×10=64064 \times 10 = 640, remainder 960−640=320960 - 640 = 320

  3. Step 3: 64×5=32064 \times 5 = 320, remainder 0

  4. Step 4: Total boats = 10+5=1510 + 5 = 15
