Question

Ethel is arranging rides so that 27 members of her club can go bowling. Some people can ride in a van that belongs to the center where they meet. The rest must ride in cars. If 12 can go in the van, and 5 can go in each car, how many cars will they need?

Answer 1

number people who go by car = 27 - 12 = 15

Answer 2
