On a class field trip there are 4 buses taking 36 students to the zoo. Each bus has the same number of each student. How many students are on each bus? Explain how you got your answer.
9 students on each bus.
- You start with a total of 36 students.
- Since there are 4 buses, you divide the total number of students by the number of buses to find out how many students go on each bus.
- The result of the division shows that each bus carries 9 students, which means the distribution is equal among all the buses.
