For a field trip, 4 students rode in cars, and the remaining students filled 9 buses. How many students were in each bus if 472 students were on the trip? (1 point) Responses 53 students 53 students 459 students 459 students 116 students 116 students 52 students

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to start by figuring out how many students rode in buses and how many rode in cars.

1. Total number of students: 472
2. Number of students who rode in cars: 4

Now, we can find out how many students were on the buses:

\[ 472 - 4 = 468 \text{ students (in buses)} \]

Next, we know that these 468 students filled 9 buses. To find out how many students were in each bus, we divide the total number of students in buses by the number of buses:

\[ \frac{468}{9} = 52 \text{ students per bus} \]

Thus, the answer is:

52 students
