Answer:

Exact: 16.6

Rounded: 17

Explanation:

1 coach = 50 people (50 / 1 = 50 people)

2 coaches = 100 people (100 / 2 = 50 people)

x coaches = 830 people (830 / x = 50 people)

830 / x = 50

mutely both sides by x

830 / x * x = 50 * x

830 = 50x

divided both sides by 50 to get x alone

830 / 50 = 50x / 50

830/50 = x

16.6 couches needed to fit 830 people

To solve this exercise, we solve it by means of division:

If a coach has capacity for 50 people.

Therefore we divide 830 by 50:

1 6. 6 ⇒ Answer

5 0 | 8 3 0

5 0

3 3 0

3 0 0

3 0 0

3 0 0

0 0 0

Therefore, for 830 people, 16.6 coaches are needed.
