on monday 464 students went on a trip to zoo .all 9 buses were filled and 5 students had to travel in cars. how many students were in each bus?
(464 - 5) / 9 = ?
51
To find out how many students were in each bus, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of buses. Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Start with the total number of students who went on the trip: 464.
2. Subtract the number of students who traveled by car: 5.
So, the number of students who traveled by bus = 464 - 5 = 459.
3. Divide the number of students who traveled by bus by the number of buses: 459 ÷ 9.
The result is 51.
Therefore, there were 51 students in each bus.
