Question

(please help) There are 251 students from Mason Middle School going on a feild trip. The students will be riding on buses that hold 52 students each. How many buses will be needed and how many empty seats will there be? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

5 buses and 9 empty seats

Explanation:

What I did im not sure if its right but i did 251/52 and i got 4.8 which rounds to 5 buses. Then 5*52 would equal 260, then 260-251=9

Answer 2

There would be 5 buses and 9 extra seats because 5 x 52 is 260 and you need 251 and there would be 9 extra seats
