Answer :
Answer: [tex]10\ tents[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the number of tents needed for 75 people.
According to the information provided in the exercise, a tent can hold up to 8 people.
Then, knowing that Chet is camping with 75 people from his after-school club, you can set up the following proportion:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}=\frac{x}{75}[/tex]
Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.
Then you get:
[tex](75)(\frac{1}{8})=x\\\\\frac{1*75}{8}=x\\\\x=9.37[/tex]
You need to round this result. Since 9 tents won't be enough (because [tex]9*8=72[/tex]):
[tex]x\approx10[/tex]
