Question

your class is taking a trip to the public library. you can travel in small and large vans. a small van holds 8 people and a large van holds 12 people. your class could fill 15 small vans and 2 large vans.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of people a small van can hold= 8

Number of people a large van can hold= 12

Since, the class could fill 15 small vans.

Therefore, number of people in 15 vans= 15×8= 120

And the class could fill 2 large vans

Therefore, number of people in 2 vans= 2×12= 24

We know that,

Total number of people= No. of people in small van+ no. of people in large van.

Therfore,Total number of people= 120+24=144

Hence, there are 144 people in the class.
