Question

Ethel is arranging rides so that 27 members of her club can go bowling. Some people can ride in a van that belongs to the center where they meet. The rest must ride in cars. If 12 can go in the van, and 5 can go in each car, how many cars will they need?

Answer 1

27-12= 15 5 can go in each car so
15/5=3 They'll need 3 cars

Answer 2

27 members - 12 members in van = 15 members needed in cars
15 members needed in cars / 5 members per car = 3 cars

They will need 3 cars. :)
