Question

Each carriage of a train has 45 people which includes 3 stewards and 1 guard. The train has 12 carriages. How many passengers are on the train?

Answer 1

How many passengers are in each car? You can figure that out from the first sentence. ahere's how:
Three of the 45 people per car are not passengers. The rest are. How many is that?

Then multiply that number of passengers by the number of carriages.

Answer 2

So do you go ;
42x12?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

41x12=492 passengers
12x3=36 stewards
12x1=12 gaurds
so in all the train is carrying 540 people.

Answer 5

41 x 12 is the answer they are looking for. I was wrong when I wrote that three on each carriage were not passengers. A Duh moment
