A school bus hires 7 buses to take 245 children to the transport museum. Each bus carry the same number of children. How many children are traveling in each bus?

Correct Answer

Given: Total children = 245 Number of buses = 7

Formula: Children per bus = Total children ÷ Number of buses

Substitution: Children per bus = 245 ÷ 7

Calculation: Breaking it down: 7×307 \times 30 = 210 (245 - 210 = 35 left) 7×57 \times 5 = 35 (35 - 35 = 0 left) Total per bus = 30 + 5 = 35 children

Answer: 35 children are traveling in each bus.

Explanation

The chapter applies division to find children per bus. 245 ÷ 7 = 35. Using partial quotients: 7×307 \times 30 = 210 (245-210=35 left), 7×57 \times 5 = 35 (35-35=0 left). Total per bus = 30 + 5 = 35 children.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Total children = 245, Number of buses = 7

  2. Step 2: Children per bus = 245 ÷ 7

  3. Step 3: 7×307 \times 30 = 210 children (245-210=35 left)

  4. Step 4: 7×57 \times 5 = 35 children (35-35=0 left)

  5. Step 5: Children per bus = 30 + 5 = 35 children
