question 1-2
morty is arranging bus service for 3,133 students and 112 teachers to travel back to school from a field trip. each bus can transport 72 riders.
how many buses does morty need to take everyone back to school?
○ 45 busses
○ 46 busses
○ 47 busses
○ 649 busses

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of riders

First, we need to find the total number of people (students + teachers) who need to travel. So we add the number of students and teachers: $3133 + 112 = 3245$.

Step2: Divide total riders by bus capacity

Now, we divide the total number of people by the number of riders each bus can transport. So we calculate $\frac{3245}{72} \approx 45.069$.

Step3: Determine the number of buses needed

Since we can't have a fraction of a bus, we need to round up to the next whole number because even if there's a small number of people left, we still need an additional bus. So we round up 45.069 to 46.

Answer:

B. 46 busses
