Question

A class used vans and buses to go on a field trip. They used 8 vehicles to go on the trip. Each van holds 11 students and each bus holds 35 students. If 160 students went on the trip, then how many of each type of vehicle did the class use?

Answer 1

So important things to know...

• 8 vehicles
• Bus can hold 35 students
• Van can hold 11 students
• 160 students total

What are they asking

To find how many of EACH vehicle does the class need to use.

35 x 3 = 105

160 - 105 = 55

55 / 11 = 5

3 Buses were used

5 vans were used
