Three hundred students went on a field trip to the zoo. Six buses were filled and 12 students rode in cars. How many students were on each bus?(1 point) Responses 48 48 52 52 62 62 288
To find the number of students on each bus, you need to divide the total number of students who went on the field trip (300) by the number of buses (6).
300/6 = 50
Therefore, there were 50 students on each bus.
To find out how many students were on each bus, we can start by calculating the total number of students who rode the buses.
Given that there were 6 buses and each bus had the same number of students, we can divide the total number of students by the number of buses.
Since 12 students rode in cars, the total number of students on the buses would be 300 - 12 = 288.
To determine the number of students on each bus, we divide 288 by the number of buses (6).
288 ÷ 6 = 48.
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
To determine the number of students on each bus, we must divide the total number of students by the number of buses.
First, we add the number of students who rode in cars to the total number of students on buses:
300 students - 12 students = 288 students
Next, we divide the total number of students (288) by the number of buses (6):
288 students ÷ 6 buses = 48 students on each bus
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
