Question

There are 70 students traveling to a soccer tournament. All of the vans can take 9 students each. How many vans are needed to take all of the students to the tournament?​

Answer 1

It is 8
9 time 8 = 72

Answer 2

They need 8 vans.

Explanation:

8 × 9 is 72. If you have 8 vans that carry 9 students each, you will have room for 72 students. Then you have enough room for 70 students.

If you only have 7 vans you can only transport 7 × 9, or 63 students. That is not enough. They need 8 vans.
