Question

a total of 447 students went on a field trip, with 18 students riding in cars and the remainder of the students divided equally between 11 buses. determine the number of students on each bus. 42 41 40 39

Explanation:

Step1: Find students on buses

Total students: 447, students in cars: 18.
Students on buses: \( 447 - 18 = 429 \).

Step2: Divide by number of buses

Number of buses: 11.
Students per bus: \( \frac{429}{11} = 39 \). Wait, no—wait, 11×39=429? Wait, 11×39=429? 11×40=440, so 440 - 11=429. Wait, but the options have 39? Wait, no, wait the problem says "the remainder of the students divided equally between 11 buses". Wait, 447 - 18 = 429. 429 ÷ 11 = 39? Wait, 11×39=429? 11×30=330, 11×9=99, 330+99=429. Yes. But wait the options: 42,41,40,39. Wait, did I miscalculate? Wait 447 - 18 = 429. 429 ÷ 11: 11×39=429. So the answer is 39? Wait but let me check again. 18 students in cars, 447 total. 447 - 18 = 429. 429 divided by 11: 11×39=429. So yes, 39.

Answer:

39
