I'll be glad to check your answer.
To determine the number of vans needed, you divide the total number of choir members by the seating capacity of each van.
Step 1: Divide the total number of choir members by the seating capacity of each van.
45 choir members / 8 people per van = 5.625
Step 2: Round up the result to the nearest whole number, as you cannot have a fraction of a van.
Rounding up 5.625 to the nearest whole number gives us 6.
Therefore, you would need 6 vans to transport all 45 choir members to the recital.
