There are 62 people at the commuter area waiting to catch carpool vans. Each van can fit 9 people. How many vans will be needed to transport everyone so that no one is left behind?

Answer 1

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

7 vans

Step-by-step explanation:

62 ÷ 9 = 6.8

6.8 is not a whole number, so when you round it to the nearest whole number you get 7.

[Also, 9 × 7 = 63, which is close to 62]

∴ 7 vans will be needed.
