Question4,875 people need to take the elevator to the top of a skyscraper. The elevator can hold 19 people at a time. How many trips does the elevator need to make?

Studdy Solution
Determine if an additional trip is needed by checking if there are any remaining people after the full trips.
Calculate the remaining people:
Remaining people=4,875(19×256) \text{Remaining people} = 4,875 - (19 \times 256)
Remaining people=4,8754,864=11 \text{Remaining people} = 4,875 - 4,864 = 11
Since there are 11 11 remaining people, an additional trip is needed.
The total number of trips needed is:
256+1=257 256 + 1 = 257
Therefore, the elevator needs to make:
257 trips\boxed{257 \text{ trips}}
