Answer:

7 buses

Explanation:

when doing a problem like this you have to divide the larger group of people by the smaller group

78 divided by 12 = 6.5

if u answered this multiplication problem correctly you would get 6.5 but u cannot put .5 people on a bus lol. so therefore u are not done yet... so u need to round up

here's a poem to help with ur rounding...

Find a place look next door

4 or less let it rest

5 or more raise the score!!!

so in conclusion your answer would be 7!
