how many buses do you need to fit 5oo people if the each bus only can fit

Question

40

Answer 1

To determine how many buses you need to fit 500 people, with each bus having a capacity of 40 people, you can use the following calculation:

1. Divide the total number of people (500) by the capacity of each bus (40): \[ \text{Number of buses} = \frac{500}{40} = 12.5 \]

2. Since you can't have a fraction of a bus, you round up to the next whole number: \[ \text{Number of buses needed} = 13 \]

Therefore, you will need 13 buses to fit 500 people.
