Answer 1

The total number of passengers is 1425 passengers

In each train car, there fits 30 passengers

So the number of train cars is 1425/30 = 47.5 train cars
Which is 47 and a half
A half is 1/2 and 47 is a whole number
So the mixed number representing the number of train cars is 47 1/2 train cars.

Answer 2

divide 30 by 1425
1425/30 = 47.5
Mixed number = whole number + fraction
47 1/2 trains
