Question

On Monday, 351 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 7 buses were filled and 8 students had to travel in cars. How many students were in each bus?

Answer 1

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

(351-8)/7 = 49

Answer 2

Answer:

Each bus had 49 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an equation

351 = 7x + 8

Step 2:  Subtract 8 from both sides

351 - 8 = 7x + 8 - 8

343 = 7x

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 7

343 / 7 = 7x / 7

49 = x

Answer:  Each bus had 49 students
