Answer:

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of children = 40

Number of adults = 12

Total number = 40 + 12 = 52 people

Each car can hold 5 people.

Number of cars = [tex]\frac{52}{5}[/tex]

Number of cars = 10.4

Rounding off to next whole number as one car can hold a maximum of 5 people.

Number of cars = 11

Hence,

Number of cars needed for the trip = 11
