To find out how many students were on each bus, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of buses.
First, let's add up the students who rode on cars: 12.
Now, subtract the students who rode on cars from the total number of students: 300 - 12 = 288.
Since there were six buses, we divide the remaining number of students (288) by the number of buses (6) to find out how many students were on each bus.
288 ÷ 6 = 48.
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
To find out how many students were on each bus, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of buses.
According to the information provided, there were 300 students in total.
The number of students who rode in cars is given as 12, so we subtract that from the total number of students: 300 - 12 = 288.
Now, since 6 buses were filled, we divide the remaining number of students by the number of buses: 288 ÷ 6 = 48.
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
