how do we do this.....

Your school is planning to bring 193 to a competition at another school. there are eight drivers available and two type of vehicles, school buses and minivans. the school buses seat 51 people each, and the minivans seat 8 people each.

193 / 51 = 3 with a remainder of 40

I think you can figure the answer from here.
i don't get it... like don't we need to find 2 equations?
The buses hold 51 people, so the group needs 3 buses.

After the 3 buses are filled, 40 people are left over. Each van holds 8 people.

40 / 8 = 5 vans

5 vans + 3 buses = 8 vehicles

There may be a shorter way to do this, but my way works.
ooo got it ... thanks Ms sue
