Each bus actually had 54 students. You take away the 7 kids who went in a car from the 331 since they didn’t go on a bus. Then, you divide that number, 324, with the 6 buses. So 324/6, which is 54. 54 kids in each bus. Hoped that helped! :)
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
So the formula to workout the area of a rectangle is height X width
so 11/3 x 5/8
which is 55/24 ft if they want a mixed number then... 2
hope this helps
