Question

: There are 235 seventh-grade students going on a field trip. The school has 5 buses to take the students. Each bus has 22 seats, and 2 students can sit in each seat. Based on this information, how many students will not be able to ride on a bus for the field trip? ​

Answer 1

15 students will not be able to ride on a bus for the field trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students who will not be able to ride on a bus for the field trip, we need to calculate the total number of seats on the buses and subtract it from the total number of students.

Each bus has 22 seats and 2 students can sit in each seat, so the total number of seats on each bus is 22 x 2 = 44.

The total number of seats on 5 buses is 44 x 5 = 220.

Therefore, the number of students who will not be able to ride on a bus is 235 - 220 = 15.

Answer 2

15 students wont be able to ride on the bus for the field trip

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The expression for the total number of seats that can be occupied by the students is;

T=N×S×B

where;

T=total number of seats occupied by the students

N=number of seats per bus

S=number of students per seat

B=number of buses

In our case;

T=total number of seats occupied by the students

N=22

S=2

B=5

replacing;

T=(22×2×5)=220

The total number of students that can occupy the 5 buses=220

Step 2

Number of students that wont ride=total number of students-total number that occupy the 5 buses

where;

total number of students=235

total number that occupy 5 buses=220

replacing;

Number of students that wont ride=(235-220)=15

15 students wont be able to ride on the bus for the field trip
