40) A family of 10 needs to take several taxis to the airport. Each taxi fits 4 people and their luggage. Which of these describes the remainder?

To determine how many taxis the family of 10 will need and what the remainder is, we can divide the total number of people by the capacity of each taxi. 1. **Total number of people**: 10 2. **Capacity of each taxi**: 4 Now, we can perform the division: \[ 10 \div 4 = 2 \quad \text{(with a remainder)} \] Calculating the whole number part: \[ 2 \times 4 = 8 \] Now, subtract this from the total number of people: \[ 10 - 8 = 2 \] So, the family will need 2 taxis to accommodate 8 people, and there will be a remainder of 2 people who still need transportation. In summary, the family will need **2 taxis** and there will be a **remainder of 2 people** who will need to fit into another taxi. Since 2 people can fit into one more taxi, they will actually need a total of **3 taxis** to transport everyone.
