Question

8

Write an equation to show
the smallest number of
train cars needed to carry
600 passengers if each
car can carry 48
passengers.

Answer 1

13 train cars.

Explanation:

Let x = number of trains

`x = (600passengers)/(48passengers/car) \\\\x = 12.5cars`

But we can't have 0.5 of a train...

x ≈ 13cars
