Answer:

5 buses

Explanation:

Given:

  • Each bus holds 150 people

To find:

  • Buses for 750 people

Since each bus or a single bus can hold 150 people, we can represent the sentence in math expression as:


\displaystyle\large{1B = 150P}

B stands for Bus and P stands for People. Therefore we have the equation of:


\displaystyle \large{B=150P}

Next is to find how many buses can hold 750 people so we will have to multiply both sides by 5 since 150*5 = 750.


\displaystyle \large{5B=150*5}\\\displaystyle \large{5B=750}

If one bus can hold 150 people then 5 buses can hold 750 people. Hence the solution is 5 buses.
