Russ and vicki are trying to solve this problem :
there are 146 students taking buses to the museum. if each bus holds 24 students, how many buses will they need? ?

russ says the students need 6 buses. vickie says they need7 buses. who is corret? explain your reasoning.

Vickie is correct because, since you have more people than can fit onto 6 busses you have to have 7. This is because you can't have half a bus or a quarter of a bus or anything less than a whole bus. In problems like this, you always have to round up in order it fulfill the real world aspect of the problem

Move the decimal behind it
