Question

The fourth and fifth grades are going on a field trip to the Holiday Show at

the War Memorial Opera House. There are 240 students, 8 teachers and
14 parents riding on school buses to the show. The school ordered 6
buses to take everyone to the show. How many people will need to go on
each bus if they are divided up equally? Show how you know.

Answer 1

Answer:only 43 people can enter each bus

Explanation:

There are 240 students, 8 teachers and 14 parents riding on school buses to the show. This means that the total number of people that went for the show would be

240 + 8 + 14 = 262

The school ordered 6

buses to take everyone to the show. If each bus carried an equal number of people, it means that the number of people that would need to go on each bus would be

262/6 = 43.67

Since each bus must carry equal number of people, then the maximum number of people that would need to go on each bus would be 43. That would be a total of 258 people. 4 people would be left
