Question

Six classes of 31,28,27,32,24 and 26 students are to travel on buses that each hold 36 students. How many buses are needed?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

You add all the students up to get 168, because that's the total number of students, and divide it by 36. The buses can only carry 36 people, so you will need 4.666 buses, but you can't have 0.666 of a bus, so you will need 5 buses to fit everyone.
