There are 26 third graders and 32 fourth graders going on a field trip. each van carry 10 students. how many students are needed? how many students will be in each van?

We need 6 vans, in 5 of those we will have 10 students, and in the other van, we will have 8 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

We have 26 third graders

We have 32 fourth graders

We have a total of 26 + 32 = 58 students.

We know that in each van we can have a max of 10 students, so we want to find the number X of vans that we need.

This is the maximum number of seats in the X vans is X*10

so we must have X*10 = 58

X = 58/10 = 5.8

but we can not have a 0.8 of a van, so we need to round up to 6, we need 6 vans.

And we will have that 5 of those vans are completed with 10 students each, and the last van only carries 8 students, (5 times 10 = 50, + 8 in the last van is 50 + 8 = 58, which is the number of students)
