Question

6. A group of 280 elementary school students and 40 adults are going on a field trip.

Answer 1

Answer:

No because the buses are short 2 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

280 students + 40 adults = 320 people

Bus type A holds 50 people

Bus type B holds 56 people

3 x 50 = 150 seats available for type A

3 x 56 = 168 seats available for type B

3a + 3b = c

3(50) + 3(56) = c

150 + 168 = 318

The buses seat 318 people and cannot accommodate 320 people.
