Question

25. 232 children and 45 adults are going on a field trip. Each bus can seat 40

people. A) How many buses will they need to take everyone? B) How
many empty seats will there be?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

232 + 45 = 277

277/40 = 6.92500 round it to the nearest whole number equals 7

7 Buses are needed and there will be 1 seat left

Answer 2

A) 7 buses

B) 3 empty seats

Explanation:

1. find total number of people

`232 children + 45 adults = 277 total people`

2. divide

`(277 people)/(40 people per bus) = 6 remainder 37`

this tells us that there will be 6 buses that will be full, and the 7th bus will have 37 out of the 40 seats full...
