Question

The seating area of a school bus is 3534 feet long. Each row uses 314 feet of space. On the left side of the bus, 3 students sit in each row. On the right side, 2 students sit in each row. How many students can ride the bus?

Answer 1

Answer:

55 students

Explanation:

The total length of the bus = $35\frac{3}{4}\ feet=\frac{143}{4}\ feet$ (Value corrected from original source.

Length used by one row = $3\frac{1}{4}\ feet=\frac{13}{4}\ feet$ (Value corrected from original source.

Thus,

Number of rows:- $\frac{\frac{143}{4}}{\frac{13}{4}}$ = 11 rows

Also, Number of student in left row = 3

Number of student in right row = 2

Total students on each row = 5

So, total number of 11 rows = 5*11 = 55 students
