Question

The seating area of a school bus is 3534 feet long. Each row uses 314 feet of space. On the left side of the bus, 3 students sit in each row. On the right side, 2 students sit in each row. How many students can ride the bus?

Answer 1

55 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the bus =
`35(3)/(4)\ feet=(143)/(4)\ feet` (Value corrected from original source.

Length used by one row =
`3(1)/(4)\ feet=(13)/(4)\ feet` (Value corrected from original source.

Thus,

Number of rows:-
`((143)/(4))/((13)/(4))` = 11 rows

Also, Number of student in left row = 3

Number of student in right row = 2

Total students on each row = 5

So, total number of 11 rows = 5*11 = 55 students
