the girls basket ball team is playing in the state tournament. The school is renting buses to take students from the school to the tournament to cheer on their team. If 241students sign up and each bus can hold 36 students, how many buses should be rented???
241 / 36 = 6 + 25/36 .....but....since we can't take a"partial" bus.....we'll need 7
Let's take the total amount of students and divide it by the amount of people that can be seated on each bus.
241/36 = 6.6944444444444444
Now, you can't have 2/3 of a bus, so round up to 7.
They should rent 7 buses.
