Question

There are 26 third graders and 32 fourth graders going on a field trip. Each van can carry 10 students. How many cans are needed? How many students will be in each van?

Answer 1

26+32=10v

add numbers

58=10v

10v=58

divide both sides by 10

v=5.8

There will be 6 vans needed

58/6=9.6

There will be 10 students in four vans, and 9 students in two vans.
