Q5.
Students of class IX of a school went for an educational excursion .394 students and 16
teachers were taken in 54-seater Volvo buses Find the minimum number of buses that will
be required for the excursion.

Answer 1

Given - Number of students : 394

Number of teachers : 16

Number of seats in one Volvo bus : 54

Find - Minimum number of buses required for the excursion.

Solution - Total number of people going for the excursion from school : 394 + 16

Total number of people : 410.

Since there are 54 seats on one Volvo bus, thus 1 bus can accommodate 54 people.

Carrying on the calculation -

54 people will require 1 bus

410 people will require : (1/54)*410 = 7.59.

Thus, minimum number of buses required for the excursion will be 8 buses.
