Cars, trucks, and buses use petroleum—which is a fossil fuel—to power them. Mrs. Cash has a class of 20 students. Half of her students get rides to school from their parents. The other half take the bus. If it takes the same amount of energy to transport three students to school by bus as it takes to transport one student by car, how could the amount of energy Mrs. Cash's students use be reduced the most?(1 point)

They could all ride the bus to school.

Reason: transporting 3 students by bus uses the same energy as 1 student by car, so bus energy per student is 1/3 of car. Converting the 10 car riders to bus (so all 20 on bus) cuts total energy roughly in half compared to the current mix.
