Answer 1

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}.
