Question

259 Students go on a field trip. There are 19 vehicles, some vans and some buses.

7 students can fit in a van, and 25 students can fit in a bus.
how many buses were there?
how many vans were there?

Answer 1

12 vans

7 Buses

Explanation:

I tried multiple versions but I finally got it right.

Since the buses can hold 25 students at a time I multiplied it by 7.

7 x 25 = 175

Then you'll need to find the remainder.

259-175 = 84

This number would be used to find the students going in the van

84/7= 12

So in total there would be 12 vans

and 7 buses

I hope this helps
