Question

The entire school of 250 students went to the soap box derby. The math club went in two vans, and each van holds 6 students. How many students from the math club went to the derby?

Answer 1

To find out how many students from the math club went to the derby, we first need to calculate how many students can fit in the two vans.

Each van holds 6 students, so:

\[ \text{Total students in two vans} = 2 \times 6 = 12 \]

Therefore, the number of students from the math club who went to the derby is 12.
