Question

Corrine is organizing a bus trip to an amusement park. She has 245 people signed up to go on the trip. The coach buses can seat 55 people per bus. How many buses should Corrine hire?

Answer 1

Just divide 245 by 55 to find out how many buses are needed.

245/55 = 4.4545 buses

This means that Corrine needs 4.45 buses to haul everyone on the trip. However, it is ridiculous to think that it would be possible to hire only .45 of a bus, so to have our final answer, we would round up to the nearest whole number.

Corrine should hire 5 buses to shuttle everyone to the trip.

Answer 2

The answer is 5 buses

hope it helped!
