Per school policy, only 8 students can ride in 1 school van. If there are 72 boys and 75 girls, how many total vans are needed to get the students to the swimming contest?
19 vans are needed. 9 for the boys and 10 for the girls
If you only can have 8 students in each van you need to divide each number by 8. So 72/8 is 9 for the boys and 75/8 is 9.4 since this is over 9 you’ll need 10 for the girls.
