To find out how many buses are needed to transport 400 people, with each bus holding 140 people, you can use the following calculation:
1. Divide the total number of people by the capacity of one bus:
\[
\text{Number of buses} = \frac{\text{Total number of people}}{\text{Capacity of one bus}} = \frac{400}{140} \approx 2.857
\]
2. Since you can't have a fraction of a bus, you need to round up to the next whole number. Therefore, you would need 3 buses to accommodate 400 people.
So, you need **3 buses**.
