Answer:

4 bus is required for field trip to carry 200 passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no . of passengers = 200

let the be x bus required to carry 200 passengers

capacity of 1 bus = 60 passengers

capacity of x bus = 60*x passengers = 60x passengers

Thus,

60x = 200

x = 200/60 = 3 2/3

thus, 3.66 bus is required , but no. of bus cannot be in fraction hence we take integral value greater than 3.66 which is 4

Thus, 4 bus is required for field trip to carry 200 passenger.
