Hello,
I just need help to see if I am doing this problem right.
Here is the problem:
A school bus holds 57 students but is only 40% full. How many students are on the bus?
Explain why the answer of 22.8 students is unreasonable.
Ok here are my answers:
If I take 57 and multiply it by 40% I get 22.8 which is unreasonable because I can't have an eighth of a person. So I would say that the correct answer would be 23 students because I would have to round up.
If this is not right could someone guide me in the right direction.
Thanks you.
