Answer 2

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.
