Answer:
We can divide the students evenly among 7 buses by using
(16*number of chaperones)/7
16*18/7 = 288/7
≅ 41 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of chaperones = 18 (given)
Number of students = 16 times number of chaperones = 16*18
Number of students = 288
There are 7 buses and students have to be shared equally.
Number of students in the seven buses = 288
Number of students in each bus = 288/7 = 41.14
Since number of students have to be a whole number, we round off to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the number of students in each bus ≅ 41
