Question

331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus?

Answer 1

`therefore` There were `color(magenta)(54` children in each bus.

Explanation:

Let the no. of students in each bus be `x`.

According to question,

`6(x)+7=331`

`6x=331-7`

`6x=324`

`x=324/6`

`color(red)(x=54`

`therefore` There were `color(magenta)(54` children in each bus.

~Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

`54` students

Explanation:

If `7` of `331` students did not go on buses
then `331-7=324` did go on buses.

If the `324` students who went on buses were evenly divided among `6` buses
then each bus would have `324/6=54` students.

Answer 3

`54` students per bus

Explanation:

First, we want to start off by eliminating those `7` students that traveled in cars.

`331-7=324`

Now, we split up the `324` students in those `6` buses by dividing.

`324divide6=54`

`54` students traveled in each bus :)
