To rescue all 7,941 people on the cruise ship using a rescue boat that can fit 9 people, you can simply divide the total number of people by the capacity of the boat. So, 7,941 divided by 9 equals approximately 882.33. Since you can’t make a fraction of a trip, you’ll need to round up to 883 trips to ensure everyone gets rescued. Let’s make it a little more exciting! Imagine that each trip becomes a mini-adventure on the high seas. Each time the rescue boat sets out, it could be a rescue mission filled with camaraderie as people share stories, sing songs, or even try to spot dolphins swimming alongside! Every trip brings a sense of hope and excitement, whittling down the population onboard and bringing everyone closer to safety.
