Question

Pls help! On the day of the big game, 298 marching band members were waiting to get on the
buses. If each bus could hold 45 band members, how many buses were needed to get them
to the game? (Hint: you have to have a whole number of buses)

Answer 1

Answer:

here u go!

Step-by-step explanation:

each bus can fit 45 people and there are 298 TOTAL. there will be an extra bus with less than 45 people btw.

first divide 298 by 45, you will get 6.2 something. however, you CANNOT have .2 of a bus. the 6 represents 6 buses of 45 people.

now taking that 6 again, multiply it by 45. 45 x 6 = 270. we have 28 people left over, this adds an extra bus.

7 buses will be needed to get them to the game.
