Question

247 students went on a field trip. six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus ?

Answer 1

from all the 247 students, 7 went on by cars, meaning they didn't fit in the buses, so they students that went in the buses are 247 - 7 = 240.

now, we know there were 6 buses, so dividing 240 evenly by 6, 240/6 = 40.
