Answer 1

on friday 703 students went on a field trip to the museum. the students where able to fill 15 buses leaving 13 students to ride a van. how many students were on each bus

703 students went on the field trip. We want to know how many went on the buses so we can subtract off the students that rode the van. 703-13 = 690. 690 rode buses so to find how many were on each bus, divide 690 by the number of buses. Do that and see how many were on each bus.

Answer 2

The total is 703 students. Thirteen rode the van, which means 703-13 = 690 rode the buses.

There were 15 buses, so the number of students per bus was 690/15 = 46 students per bus
