To find the number of students on each bus, first find the total number of students riding on the buses: 6 buses * 48 students/bus = <<6*48=288>>288 students
Then subtract that number from the total number of students to find the number of students riding in cars: 300 students - 288 students = <<300-288=12>>12 students.
Multiply the number of students in a bus by the number of buses to find the total number of students on the buses: 12 students * 1 bus = <<12*1=12>>12 students.
Divide the total number of students on the buses by the number of buses to find the number of students on each bus: 288 students / 6 buses = <<288/6=48>>48 students/bus. Answer: \boxed{48}.
To find out how many students were on each bus, we need to subtract the number of students who rode in cars from the total number of students.
Total number of students = Number of students on buses + Number of students in cars
Given:
Total number of students = 300
Number of students in cars = 12
We can substitute these values into the equation:
300 = Number of students on buses + 12
To solve for the number of students on each bus, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
300 - 12 = Number of students on buses + 12 - 12
288 = Number of students on buses
Therefore, there were 288 students on each bus.
To find the number of students on each bus, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total number of students who rode in cars: 6 buses × 12 students per car = 72 students.
2. Subtract the number of students who rode in cars from the total number of students: 300 total students − 72 students in cars = 228 students on the buses.
3. Divide the number of students on the buses by the number of buses: 228 students on the buses ÷ 6 buses = 38 students on each bus.
Therefore, there were 38 students on each bus.
