Question

One day 197 Eagle Ridge students went on a field trip. Five busses were filled with the same number of students, and two students traveled separately by car. How many students were on each bus?

Answer 1

Answer: 39 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remove the number of students who traveled by car from the total number so we can see the number of students who traveled by bus:

= 197 - 2

= 195 students by bus.

These 195 students traveled in 5 buses. The number of students on each bus is therefore:

= No. of students traveling by bus / No. of buses

= 195 / 5

= 39 students
