Question

2. The fifth graders are going on a field trip to the museum. They are taking buses that

hold 24 people each. There are 113 students and adults going on the field trip. The
school ordered 4 buses. Were there enough buses for all of the people? How do you
know? Show your work and explain your answer in detail.

Answer 1

There were not enough buses.

Explanation:

24 people multiplied by the 4 buses = 96.

4 buses only hold 96 people, however, they need enough buses to hold 113 people.

They would need 5 buses to hold 113 people

5 buses will hold 120 people

24 x 5 = 120

Answer 2

No they weren't enough Buses, i know because 113/24 is 4.70 so they were still 17 people left.

Explanation:

113/24= 4.70

or

24+24+24+24= 96

113-96= 17
