Yes, I can help you understand this question.
In the given question, it is stated that a school is planning to bring 193 people to a competition at another school. They have eight drivers available, and there are two types of vehicles - school buses and minivans.
The school buses can seat 51 people each, while the minivans can seat 8 people each.
To understand the question, we need to determine the number of buses and minivans required to transport all 193 people.
To find the number of school buses required, we divide the total number of people (193) by the seating capacity of each school bus (51).
Using division: 193 ÷ 51 = 3.784
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bus, we need to round up to the nearest whole number, which in this case is 4. So, we would need 4 school buses to transport 193 people.
To find the number of minivans required, we divide the remaining number of people by the seating capacity of each minivan (8).
Using division: 193 - (4 * 51) = 193 - 204 = -9
Since we cannot have a negative number of people, we conclude that no minivans are required.
Therefore, the school would need 4 school buses to transport all 193 people to the competition at another school.
