Question

7th and 8th graders at Marshall Middle are going on a field trip. The 7th graders use 10 small buses and 12 large buses for 504 students. The 8th graders use 5 small buses and 7 large buses for 279 students.
1. How many students can fit on a small bus?
2. How many students can fit on a large bus?

Answer 1

Answer:

by dividing 325 by 48.

The answer comes out to 6.77

But since the number of buses must be a whole number, we will need 7 buses to carry the 325 students and teachers on a field trip.

so the answer is 7 buses
