Question

There are 357 basketball fans who plan to go to a game. How many buses will be needed, given that each bus can hold 45 fans?

Answer 1

8 buses

Explanation:

So if we want to seperate out a group of objects to a set, we would used division. Our group of objects is basketball fans and our set is a bus.

Now, we divide the group of objects by the set, to find how many sets to fit all the objects.

357/45 = 7.93333

Since we have a mixed number with a fraction, we will always round up. Because we can't have part of a bus and if we round down, we will not have enough buses.

So we need 8 buses
