Suppose the physics club is going on a field trip. Members will be riding in vans that will hold 7 people each including the driver. At least 24 people will be going on the field trip. What is the least number of vans needed to make the trip?

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation

24 people going on the field trip and each bus seats 7 people

so 24/7 = 3 R3 + there will be 3 extra people because there will be 3 drivers so in total there will be 27 people so there will be 4 buses needed

I hope this helped : )

Answer:

4

Explanation:

24/7 = 3.xxxx

Which is more than 3 and there is no such thing as a 0.xxx bus then you round the van value to the next whole number.

Keep practicing, this is basic stuff
