Figure out how many students can ride the bus. A seating area of a school bus is 35 and 3/4 feet long. Each row uses 3 and 1/4 feet of space. On the left side of the bus, 3 students sit in each row. On the right side, 2 students sit in each row.
+129840 To determine the number of rows, we have :
Length of the seating area / length of each row =
[35 + 3/4] / [3 + 1/4 ] =
[143/4] / [ 13/4] =
143 / 13 =
11 rows
Since [ 3 + 2 ] = 5 students sit in each row........the number of children that the bus can carry = 11 * 5 = 55 students
