Final answer:
To find out how many students a bus can carry, we divide the total number of students by the total number of buses and round to the nearest whole number.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many students a bus can carry, we need to determine the total number of students and the number of buses. From the given information, School A filled 11 vans and 5 buses with 423 students, and School B filled 11 vans and 4 buses with 367 students each.
To find the number of students a bus can carry, we can divide the total number of students by the total number of buses:
School A: (11 vans + 5 buses) / 423 students = 16/423 students per vehicle
School B: (11 vans + 4 buses) / 367 students = 15/367 students per vehicle
Since each van and bus carried the same amount of students, we can determine that a bus can carry approximately 15 to 16 students (rounded to the nearest whole number).Therefore, the correct answer is a. 45.
