Question

How many buses do you need for 500 people if each bus holds 40 people?

Answer 1

13 buses

Explanation:

12 buses but 20 people left so they need 12 buses, and the 13th bus will be half filed.

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

Divide 500 by 40 to find the amount of buses you need

500 ÷ 40 = 12.5

BUT, you cannot have .5 of a bus! So you need ONE extra bus to hold the remaining people

you'll need 13 buses
