vans = v, buses = b, students = s

8v + 8b =312s ...eqn 1

9v + 4b = 196s ...eqn 2

divide eqn 1 by 2

4v + 4b = 156s ...eqn 3

eqn 2 - eqn 3

5v = 40s

v = 8s

subst v = 8s in eqn 2

72s + 4b = 196 s

b = 31s

answer

each van holds 8 students and each bus holds 31 students

Rolls are being prepared to go to grocery stores. Divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so the ratio is 3 to 5.  
Alenkasestr [34]
<span>We need to divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so that their ratio is 3:5. First, we can see that the ratio of 3:5 tells us there is 8 separate groups of rolls. Now its easy, since we have 72 rolls and we need to divide them into 8 equal groups: 72/8=9. So each group has 9 rolls. Now we separate them into groups with the ratio 3:5, so: 3*9:5*9 and that is: 27 rolls and 45 rolls. </span>
