Marvin is helping his teachers plan a ?eld trip. There are 125 people going on the ?eld trip and each school bus holds 48 people. What is the minimum number of school buses they will required to reserve for the trip?
Divide the number of people by the number in which fit on a bus; 125 ÷ 48 = 2.604. They required more than 2 buses, but not quite 3. Because you can't order part of a bus, they will required to order 3 buses.
