Question

Eurostar is a high-speed railway service connecting

London with Paris and Brussels,

In February, 350,000 passengers travelled by Eurostar,

Each train has 15 carriages and each carriage has 32 seats,

If all the empty seats are on

the last train, find:

the number of empty carriages

you could make

the number of empty seats across

all the other carriages,​

Answer 1

32 x 15 = 480. 350000 divided by 48 = 729 plus remainder of 40

the 730th train has 40 empty seats

each carriage has 32 seats. One carriage has 32 empty seats and another carriage has 8 empty seats

If you distributed the 40 empty seats more evenly, 440 trains would be full, and 40 trains would have one empty seat
