Question

All the freshmen in STEM majors at the college will go on a field trip to the science museum. Counting all students and faculties, there will be 169 people. Each bus holds 33 people. How many busses will they need?

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: 169/33=5.12121212121 so on. However, you still need a bus for the desimal people so you have to add another bus

Answer 2

To answer this question, we have to find out the total number of buses required to transport all the 169 students and faculties. Each bus can carry 33 members.

So, we divide the total number of individuals, that is, 169, by the capacity of the bus, which is 33. As a result, we get about 5.12. This means we need just over 5 buses to transport everyone.

Since we can't have a fraction of a bus, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Even though a sixth bus would not be filled to capacity, it's still required for transportation.

So, we would require 6 buses to transport all 169 students and faculties to the science museum.
