Mr. Rakesh-	Let us see how many children are going.

 

Class	Number of children
I	33
II	32
III	42
IV	50
V	53
Total-	210

1. One bus can take 50 children, 4 buses can take 50 × 4....?
2. So there are a total of _____ children going.
3. If they get 4 buses, how many children will get seats?
4. Will there be any children left without seats?

Answer 1

1. 200
2. 33 + 32 + 42 + 50 + 53
   = 210
3. Total number of seats in 4 buses
   = No.of seat in each bus × 4
   = 50 × 4
   = 200
   So, 200 children will get seats.
4. Children left out without seat
   = Total number of children – Total number of seats in buses
   = 210 - 200
   = 10 children.
