Question

The freshmen class is going on a field trip.There are 316 people going.six people will be traveling by car and these are five buses.How many people must ride on each bus?

Answer 1

Explanation:

307 divided by 7 is the number of students in each bus with the remainder 6. As the 6 students cannot be fit into the bus and had to travel by car.

Thus we can conclude that:

307= 7x + 6 (6 extra students)

Take away 6 on both sides

7x = 301

i hope this helps i tried my best

x= 43

There are 43 students on each bus.

Answer 2

62 people on each bus

Explanation:

316-6=310.

310÷5=62 so there will be 62 people riding on each bus.
