Question

462 pupils are going on a school trip. A coach can seat 54 children.

How many coaches will be needed for the trip?

Answer 1

8.5 because 462/54 equals 8.5

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Since we know that one coach can seat 54 children we know that we should divide 462/54 which is approximately 8.5 but since we can't leave any behind we should round up to 9.
