Question

On Monday, 184 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 4 buses were filled and 8 students had to travel in cars. How many students were in each bus ? show work

Answer 1

We have the following:

In this case, the first thing is to divide all the students into 4 groups, just like this

$\frac{184}{4}=46$

Then, since 8 students left in cars, now we must take the equal amount from each group, therefore

$\frac{8}{4}=2$

From each group we took 2 people, which means that 44 students would then leave each bus (46-2)
