5TH GRADE MATH PROBLEM WILL MARK BRAINLIEST: Russ and Vickie are trying to solve this problem: There are 124 students taking buses to the museum. If each bus holds 24 students, how many buses will they need?

Russ says the students need 6 buses. Vickie says they need 7 buses. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

vickie is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Vickie is correct because, since you have more people than can fit onto 6 busses you have to have 7. This is because you can't have half a bus or a quarter of a bus or anything less than a whole bus. In problems like this, you always have to round up in order it fulfill the real world aspect of the problem

Russ is correct

Step-by-step explanation

Russ is correct because if they take 6 busses they would have enough seats to hold 144 students! That's 20 extra than they originally need. Vickie is saying that they need 7 buses. While they could take 7 buses 1 of them would be completely empty, literally useless.

Hope this helps!
