Q. 2 A group of 66 third graders and 14 adults are going on a field trip to the zoo in small buses. Each bus holds 10 people.How many buses will be needed for the trip to the zoo?A 10B 8C 70D 9
Calculate total number of people: Calculate the total number of people going on the trip. 66 third graders + 14 adults = 80 people.
Determine bus capacity: Determine how many people can fit in one bus.Each bus holds 10 people.
Calculate number of buses needed: Calculate the number of buses needed by dividing the total number of people by the number of people each bus can hold.80 people ÷10 people per bus = 8 buses.
Check for additional bus: Check if there is a need for an additional bus for any remaining people.Since 80 is divisible by 10, there are no remaining people. Therefore, no additional bus is needed.
