Question

The sixth-graders at Meadowbrook Middle School are going on a field trip. The 325 students and adults will ride in school buses. Each bus holds 48 people. How many school buses are needed? (Do you multiply or divide?)

Answer 1

7, you divide 325 by 48. You get 6.77... since this is a real-world problem, you can’t have 6 and 2/3 buses so you round.

Answer 2

You have to Divide. The answer would be 6.77
