To determine the number of buses needed for 500 people with each bus holding 40, you can use the following calculation:
1. Divide the total number of people by the capacity of one bus:
\[
\frac{500}{40} = 12.5
\]
2. Since you cannot have a fraction of a bus, you need to round up to the next whole number:
- This means you will need 13 buses.
So, you need **13 buses** to accommodate 500 people.
