On monday, 330 students went on a trip to the zoo. all 7 buses were filled and 8 students had to travel in cars. how many students were in each bus ?

STEP 1
find total that travelled on buses; subtract number that went in cars from total number of students

= 330 total - 8 in cars
= 322 travelled in buses

STEP 2
divide 322 students among 7 buses

= 322 ÷ 7 buses
= 46 students per bus

ANSWER: 46 students travelled on each of the 7 buses.

Hope this helps! :)

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
