the fifth-grader classes at Brookfield school used five identical school buses to go on a field trip. There were a total of 40 seats on each bus, all of the four buses were filled. The fifth bus had 4/5 of the seats filled, and 1/8 of all the passengers on the buses were adults. How many adult went on the field trip with the fifth grade classes?

32 students on the fifth bus, 192 students in total, 24 teachers in total.

Explanation:

40 × 4 = 160

4/5 of 40 = 32

1/8 of 192 (the total number of students) = 24
