To write an equation that represents the number of buses it will take to transport fans.
Answer to Problem 6STP
9 buses are required for 450 people.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Total people are 450.
Capacity of each bus is 55 people.
Now we shall make a table.
Number of buses | Total students. |
1 | 55 |
2 | 110 |
3 | 165 |
4 | 220 |
5 | 275 |
6 | 330 |
7 | 385 |
8 | 440 |
9 | 495 |
Therefore it will need 8 buses for 440 people and 9 buses for 495
Therefore we need 9 buses for 450 people.
