Question

On Monday, 248 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 6 buses were filled and 8 students had to travel in cars. How many students were in each bus?​

Answer 1

248-8=240
240/6=40
= 40 students in all six buses

Answer 2

40 students in each bus.

Explanation:

Subtract the 8 extra students from the total to get the total number of students who rode in buses. Then divide that total by 6.

248-8=240

240/6=40

40 students in each bus.
