Question

A middle school needs buses to

transport 579 students. If each bus
carries 48 students, what is the fewest
number of buses needed?

Answer 1

13 buses

Explanation:

There are 579 students and each bus carries 48 students so:

579 ÷ 48 = 12.1

Now you could say that only 12 buses are needed but there would be an extra student remaining so you need 13 buses.

Answer 2

13 buses ml hope that helps
