Part A: About ⅔ of the students chose to go to the arcade. Calculate the number of buses needed for the arcade trip if each bus can transport 42 students. Explain your step

Answer:

2 buses would be needed for the Arcade trip

Explanation:

Step 1

Total number of students = 126

We find 2/3 of the total number of students

2/3 want to go to the Arcade.

Hence,

2/3 × 126 = 252/3

= 84 students.

84 students want to go to the Arcade

Step 2

We are told in the question that

1 bus can transport 42 students

Hence,

42 students = 1 bus

84 students = x bus

Cross Multiply

42 × x = 84 × 1

x = 84 /42

x = 2 buses.

Hence, 2 buses would be needed for the Arcade trip
