Total number of students is 126
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
