Answer:
Number of adult leaders in the troop are 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of cub scouts in troop 645 are = 18
As per statement given in the question "The number of scouts is 3 more than five times the number of adult leaders"
Number of scouts = 5(Number of adults) + 3
Here number of scouts = 18
Therefore, equation will become as
18 = 5(Number of adults) + 3
5(Number of adults) = 18 - 3
5(Number of adults) = 15
Number of adults = [tex]\frac{15}{5}[/tex]
= 3
Therefore, number of adult leaders in the troop are 3.
