For a class trip 114 students are put on 4 busses.At this rate how many students would be on 8 busses?
114/4= 57/2
57/2*8= 228
The answer is: At this rate, 228 students would be on 8 buses.
114/4=28.2
8=28.2
At this rate, there would be 228 on 8 buses.
To find out how many students would be on 8 buses, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
First, we need to determine the ratio of students to buses. In this case, we have 114 students and 4 buses. So, the ratio can be written as:
114 students / 4 buses
To find the number of students on 8 buses, we can set up a proportion by equating the ratios:
114 students / 4 buses = x students / 8 buses
Now we can solve for x by cross-multiplying:
4 * x students = 114 students * 8 buses
4x = 912
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we find:
x = 912 / 4
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us:
x = 228
Therefore, on 8 buses, there would be 228 students.
