To find out how many people would be seated on all 27 buses, you need to multiply the number of buses by the number of people each bus can seat.
First, you multiply the number of buses (27) by the number of people each bus can seat (44).
So, the calculation would be:
27 x 44 = 1188
Therefore, if all 27 buses were in use at the same time and each bus was full, there would be 1188 people seated on all the buses.
