Question

If 421 children are going on an excursion and each bus can carry 35 children how many full buses are there and how many children are left over

Answer 1

421 ÷ 35 = $12\frac{1}{35}$
421 - (12 × 35) = 1

There were 12 full buses and 1 child left over.

Answer 2

Solution :-

To find the number of full buses and number of left over children, we have to divide 421 by 35. The quotient will be the number of full buses and the remainder will be the number of left over children.

Total number of children = 421

Capacity of each bus = 35 children

421 ÷ 35 

Quotient = 12

Remainder = 1

So, number of full buses is 12 and only 1 child is left behind.
